Kyoto Travel Day Co-Pilots Ages 10-15

Kyoto Travel Day Co-Pilots. 56 pages for ages 10 to 15. For the kid who likes math, and the one who likes being right.

A travel day is a set of small problems about time, space, money and people. This notebook hands them over. Whose priorities win, with a weighted decision matrix. The connection case, three ways to a 10:50 meeting for a family of four, then an eighteen minute delay to fix. Fast, cheap or both, on a practice network priced in hundreds of yen where you pay each link once. Audit the family day and balance the bill against the reserve. The exchange rate trap. Does the pass pay off, a break even problem. Five travelers, five meetings, a logic file with no guessing. A two stage cipher to restore and decode. Three sources, one decision. The average that misleads. A traveler's crossword, a two player strategy game you can guarantee a win at, and the two kilogram packing problem.

Then the real project. Six pages to brief, research, plan, price and pitch a Kyoto day your family could use, with an evidence ledger so nobody guesses their way through a gap. Then the debrief. Compare the plan with reality, ask if another choice would have been better, write advice for the next traveler.

Gavin is the co-pilot in this one. His story runs through it in three parts. The first decision, the plan meets the rain, and the arrival, where the best note turned out to be a question.

All the practice numbers are invented and say so on the page. Real numbers go in the real project, from current official sources.

WHO MADE THISI'm Nicole, an ASTA Verified Travel Advisor with FG Luxury Travel, and I plan international family trips for a living. Adventures We Seek is my travel blog and planning resource, and trips are booked through Favorite Grampy Travels. Before that I taught social studies for eight years.

In May 2026 we sold our house and moved abroad with our three kids and the dog, so we are going country to country right now with one hiking bag each, no suitcases. Every book in this library has our family in it. Gavin, Jake, Avilene, Adam, me and Poppy the dog, who is quite sure she is a person.
