A trip can bring out the best - or the most chaotic - sides of everyone involved, so if it's not planned right, things can go off the rails. I was reminded of this recently on a trip to Scotland with friends, where I realized that so much of the experience starts long before the plane takes off."
"From planning and packing to navigating new cities and making group decisions, every step of the journey takes patience, flexibility, and good communication.

When it's done right, those shared challenges and spontaneous moments can create memories that last a lifetime. Here are five things I would've done differently on a recent trip with friends."

Shared challenges and spontaneous moments during travel strengthen bonds and create lasting memories.
