Done Window Item Details Status
By June planning Book Casablanca → Amsterdam Likely target: Sat June 13, arriving before the retreat that starts June 15. First booking priority
Before departure Confirm retreat logistics Exact location, arrival instructions, what to bring, and whether an extra night before/after is useful. Need details
June 21 to 27/28 Confirm Netherlands stay Likely with friends, otherwise book fallback accommodation in the Netherlands. Decision needed
June 29 or 30 Choose Netherlands → Spain route Prefer weekday evening travel after work. Need to decide whether this is best by flight or train. Open decision
Before July 1 Confirm uncle stay logistics Exact city, arrival timing, and whether Barcelona is the right pickup base for the van. Needs confirmation
July 4 to 18 Rent camper van Main vehicle task. Need pickup point, return point, insurance level, mileage policy, and festival suitability. Major booking task
July 4 onward Lock festival operational plan Arrival date, setup responsibilities, gear to carry, and departure target after festival. Needs shaping
July 13 to 18 Choose decompression stay Decide between wild-nature campsite vs a place with more civilization, supermarket access, showers, and easier recovery. Open decision
July 20 to 22 Ship boxes from Barcelona to Thailand Main post-festival logistics block, including both festival gear and regular belongings. Critical task
July 21 or 22 Book Barcelona → Casablanca Evening flight around 8 pm sounds ideal. Latest preferred return: July 22. High priority after van plan

Decision points

1. Netherlands → Spain transport: flight is likely simplest, but if luggage, timing, or city-center convenience matter, we should compare flight versus train before deciding.
2. Spain base before the van: we should pin the exact city with your uncle, because it affects the best van pickup location and the route to the festival.
3. Decompression style: fully remote nature may be beautiful but risky if you need recovery, groceries, showers, signal, or easy admin after the festival. My instinct is a place with at least light civilization nearby.
4. Shipping strategy from Barcelona: we should decide whether to optimize for cheapest boxes, fastest delivery, or most reliable international forwarding, because this may affect how much buffer you need before flying home.
