Try this
- List the one or two activities each person most wants, then place travel and rest on the same plan.
- Leave an unassigned block and decide whether either person can use it alone. Do not book the remaining hours merely because they are empty.
A worked example
“Dinner with your friend matters to me. Could we keep Saturday morning unplanned so we aren’t rushing through the whole visit?”
An invented example to adapt, not a real exchange or a script you have to follow.
Before you leave it here
Before buying tickets for extra activities, ask whether the plan still feels like a visit you can enjoy. Scarcity does not require constant activity.
