Let someone else do all the planning for a chance.

Prior to your trip, make sure your preference sheet is filled with all your dos and don’ts.
Be sure to include your favorite (and least favorite) foods, ideas for themed dining, parties, or excursions, and anything else they need to know in order to design the trip of your dreams.
