The Planning System Behind Every Trip
I’m Paul Weber. Forty years in law enforcement. A career as a professional negotiator. And a traveler who has learned — sometimes the hard way — that great trips don’t happen by accident.
About
Why This Site Exists
In October 2023, my daughter Jenny and I ended up in a poorly lit alley in Whitechapel because I’d misread a two-address booking confirmation. We were looking for the Jack the Ripper Walking Tour. We found the business registration address instead of the meeting point. The tour had already left by the time we sorted it out.
Our travel agent — excellent at her job overall — retired from full-time travel shortly after that trip. The gap she left behind forced me to build my own planning system. I applied it on our 2024 Viking Grand European River Cruise. Then on our 2025 Mediterranean cruise. Then on our upcoming 2026 Seine trip.
This site is the public version of that system. Built for travelers who want the trip to actually deliver — not just happen.
