Where we go, when we move, and what needs planning next.
A route-style holiday map for the trips Bart wants to shape into proper plans later: hotels, dates, travel flow, kid-friendly activities, restaurants, and calm alternatives.
Private/fun Ibiza trip. Current plan is a tight but very workable sequence of beach lunches, dinners, clubs and one wildcard local-check moment. Accommodation, flight numbers, attendee list and transport still need confirmation.
Arrival/departure times visible; flight numbers still missing
Known: arrival 15:00 Thu 17, departure 17:00 Mon 21. Need airline, flight numbers, airport transfer plan and who arrives when.

Transport, tickets, recovery windows, playlist
Need taxis/driver plan, ticket deadlines, restaurant confirmation deadlines, and sensible late-night recovery buffers.
Next
Operating mode: Charles keeps this as the Ibiza control sheet — useful, light, privacy-safe, and ready for the shared WhatsApp group once Bart approves any outgoing message.

Austria + Italy family roadtrip
Laren → transit hotel near Leogang → Forsthofgut → Serfaus → Passeier → Laren · 24 Jul → 6 Aug 2026 · 12 hotel nights + 1 transit night
Booked hotels
Flight assumptions · not received yet
Bart thinks the international flights are still missing/not received: likely outbound on 16 Dec via Germany, and return on 2 Jan from Cape Town. Treat this as a working assumption until the tickets arrive.
16 Dec
Outbound to South Africa · via Germany likely
Flights not received yet. Assumption: route goes via Germany before connecting onward to South Africa / safari start.
TBC
2 Jan
Return from Cape Town · likely
Flights not received yet. Assumption: return flight leaves from Cape Town after Boschendal / Winelands.
Gentle rule: 24 Jul is the big protected driving day, 25 Jul becomes a fresh arrival/check-in day, and 6 Aug remains the long return. For Noah and William, plan proper lunch/play stops rather than trying to “win” the drive.

Alpine Bob + Outdoor Kids Camp · One proper outside adventure from the Quellenhof base: cable car, kids camp, Alpine Bob, views — then back to resort comfort.
