You've got the trip you keep almost booking. In this episode, Pat breaks down the one question that changes everything about planning a trip, what do you actually want it to feel like once it's over. He walks through two common scenarios, a family chasing a little breathing room versus a family chasing time all together, and shows why they end up planning completely different trips even with the same budget and timeline. Plus, why couples so often argue about resorts and cruise ships when the real disagreement was never about the resort at all, and a simple way to have that conversation before you start comparing options.

Next episode, Pat gets into the how, starting with the phrase he hears constantly, "I can't afford it," and why that's almost never actually about the money.

You've got the folder. The Pinterest board, the resort you screenshotted, the trip you priced out and never booked. In the first episode of this travel mindset podcast, Pat breaks down why that folder isn't actually the problem, and why "I don't have time" or "I can't afford it" usually isn't either when it comes to planning a family vacation.

He shares the story behind Wonder With Pat's tagline, and what it actually means to help someone reach the moment they say "I'm finally going," whether that's a Disney trip, an Alaska cruise, or an all-inclusive getaway that's been sitting on a list for years.

Plus, three questions to answer before you open another tab, and a look at what's coming in the next few episodes, as the show works through the why, the how, the when, and the where of actually booking your next trip.
