PLAN B IS A PLAN TOO
Dates for a rainy day
Rain is a good reason to change things up, not to cancel.
Make the most of it.
Choose an indoor spot where you can stay a while, or turn an ordinary afternoon at home into a little challenge. Bear in mind that places everyone heads to in bad weather may be busy.
- Check whether popular indoor activities require booking.
- Allow for wet coats and travel time in your planning.
- Agree whether you'll stay at the venue or start at home.
