Why winging it goes wrong

The free articles on this site answer the questions. The decision manual joins them into a sequence — because the expensive mistakes aren’t made inside any single question. They’re made in the connections between them: what you book first, what that locks in, and what it quietly breaks three decisions later.

Every claim carries its provenance

Each statement in the book is marked for where it stands: established, official, surveyed, or volatile. No mark, no claim — anything that couldn’t be pinned was cut. Volatile figures (prices, schedules) live on a dated Field Sheet, refreshed quarterly, so the book doesn’t pretend numbers hold still.

What it refuses to do

No hotel lists we haven’t slept in. No restaurant roundups that are wrong by spring. No printed prices that rot on the page. The decision manual holds what stays true — the structure of the trip — and hands the moving parts to the Field Sheet.
