Trips Planned for fun.

Many people enjoy using their spare time watching television, collecting coins, playing chess, and pursuing other worthwhile diversions. One of my hobbies is to read travel books and plan trips. I’ve been doing this since I was about 13 years old. I have decided to put some of these planned trips up on the Internet in case they inspire anyone to actually travel.

Plans that are complete have a short description, a detailed day-by-day description with links to websites, and a fairly accurate cost estimate. Costs are given for families of four as percentages of median year-round full-time incomes for Americans.
Plans that are complete use a black font face
Plans that have partial details completed are in the green font face
Plans that only have a summary or outline are in the grey font face
