The city offers a more local and practical calendar than a resort-oriented destination.

    Use a market, George Price Centre, university program, meal, and errand. Record hours, shade, cooling, toilets, parking, transport, and energy.

  3. Plan family arrivals

    Add airport, hospital, groceries, recreation, fuel, road conditions, parking, luggage, weather, and a calm arrival.

  4. Keep a low-energy day
