# How to add places, costs and time to a trip plan

> Everything a stop can hold — what it is, where it is, what it costs and how long to allow.

A stop is one place you will actually be. Beyond its name, the two fields that make a plan usable are **cost** and **time to spend** — they are what turn a list of places into something you can budget and fit into a day.

## Add a stop

Open the trip and tap **+**. Give the place a name — what you would call it out loud, not its official title — and an address if you have one.

Stops are added in visiting order. You can drag them into a different order at any point afterwards.

## Choose a place type

The place type draws the right icon on the map and in the list, so a day reads at a glance. There are eleven:

- **Eat & drink** · **Sleep** · **Buy**
- **Learn & see** · **Sight** · **Entertainment**
- **Play & watch** · **Nature** · **Heal & bathe**
- **Pray** · **Travel**

It is optional. A stop with no type still works; it just looks the same as every other untyped one.

## Record what it costs

Enter the rough cost **per person**, in the trip's currency. Approximate is fine — the point is the total at the end, not an invoice.

If a place is free, mark it free rather than leaving the field empty. Empty means "I have not looked into it", and the difference matters to anyone reading your plan.

## Record how long to allow

This is the field that stops a plan being a fantasy. Four sights in an afternoon looks reasonable as a list and impossible once each one carries ninety minutes.

Allow the time you would actually want there, not the minimum it can be done in.

## Add your own notes

The notes field is free text — booking references, what to order, which entrance to use, why you picked this place over the one nearby.

For a warning that should be hard to miss rather than read in passing, use an [advice or caution note](/help/travel-notes-and-warnings) instead: those render as coloured chips.
