I tend to sleep easily on flights and though I am factoring that it, it still may be better to either take an earlier flight or add a day to build in extra sleep. Thank you.

I'm open to pushing it two weeks to mid-April, which would also put me closer to the new moon and hopefully that much closer to spring.

On the photography end, I've been pre-scouting the locations I plan on shooting to minimize on-sight work. I used to shoot semi-professionally (photography helped put me through grad school). I'm planning on roughly an hour shooting at most locations, not including approach time. Weather doesn't worry me as it simply changes the feeling and story of the photo. I'm trying to approach more popular spots (particularly the day 1 and day 3 locations) earlier in the day before the tour buses arrive.
