[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My family and I used to move frequently with my husband’s job. We would be in a location for no more than two years at a time.

Before we moved, I would buy a typical tourist guidebook for the city or area we were moving to. Once we got there, we would prioritize the top five or 10 things we wanted to see, while our clock was ticking down from 24 months.

This way, we could also understand that some things/events/places/activities were inside things or outside things, or dependent on a specific time of year or weather. This method helped us knock out the major and most popular sites and events and locations in our new place. I would also make notes and plans about “Local only” things that were off the beaten track that I learned about once we had moved there.[/quote]
This. We lived someplace just six months, but this is how we initially handled weekends. We were tourists. We quickly fell into a groove and found our favorite places though, and laughed at the actual tourists doing touristy things and wondered why we ever thought that would be a good idea. [/quote]
