How do you schedule your stays?

Before, I used to obsess with getting an ONS (as it would prove something about me) and now I'm more flexible and get the number for a later date. So I would plan a 3 days stay from thursday to saturday.

Now I realize that the day after meeting her could be key. So I think ideally 4-5 days from thursday to sunday (or monday) is a good bet. It allows to do some recognition and research on Thursday, hit the bars and clubs on Friday and Saturday and follow up on Sunday and Monday.

For me, the ideal place is a 2nd tier city in an airbnb close to the center.

What is your MO regarding planning your stay?

Thursday to Monday is ideal.... I have also found that flights are significantly cheaper on Monday mornings, making it even more sense to stay that extra day.

If you fly into the location on Friday its too much of a rush... Flying, checking in, shower, change, rushing to whatever club or bar.. and plane delays can add to even more stress..
