Weekend trips can be quick - day or two before. Longer trips that require time off take a little extra planning-maybe 2-3 months. Earliest I’ve planned was ~6 months for 7 people to go from US to Paris for a week. Planned about 4-5 months before Italy. It had to match dates with my husband’s work travel and i wanted to research lodging to make sure my 76 yo mom could manage the walking, stairs, etc.
And loading/unloading a car trunk.
