A week is close to the minimum for touching all five of Mauritius’s regions without every day being consumed by driving. This route bases in the north, then works its way through the west, the island’s wildlife parks, the interior, the south and central highlands, and finishes in Port Louis on the way to the airport. It’s still not the full 7-10 days the island can genuinely...

Two days is enough for the real core of Memphis if you don’t waste time: the downtown music-and-history cluster on day one, Graceland and Sun Studio on day two. It’s tight, but it skips the padding and hits the things that make Memphis worth the trip. One thing to sort out before you land: a car or rideshare is effectively required for anything past the downtown core, Graceland alone...

Six days covers most of Mauritius without the constant repacking that island-hopping the whole thing forces on you. Base in the north for the first stretch, then work outward: a west-coast day, an interior day, a south-and-central day, and an east-coast finish.

Two days is enough to see why Montreal’s core is worth a trip on its own, without stretching to day trips: Old Montreal and the Old Port on day one, Mount Royal and the Plateau/Mile End on day two.

Five days is the first length where Mauritius stops feeling like a single-region trip. Base in the north, add a full west-coast day, an interior day, and finish on the east coast, which happens to be a smart way to end things since it’s closer to the airport than the north is. The island is genuinely a 7-10 day destination if you want to see it all, but five days covers four of its five...

Three days on Mauritius is enough to do one region well, not the island. Base yourself in the west, around Flic en Flac and Le Morne, and you get the shortest airport transfer on the island plus the trip’s two heaviest hitters, Le Morne and Tamarin, within a short drive of each other. Trying to also fit in the north or the east means three days of driving instead of three days of Mauritius.

Two days on Mauritius is not enough to cross the island, so don’t try. There’s no islandwide tourist train, the Metro Express only runs between Port Louis and Curepipe, and the main roads wind through a mountainous interior at a pace that eats a short trip fast. With two days, pick one region and stay in it. The north, Grand Baie, Trou aux Biches, Pereybère, and Mont Choisy, sits close...

Four days is enough for one Memphis city day, a real Delta overnight, and two more day trips into the Mississippi towns south of the city, Tunica and Oxford.

Two days is tight, so this trip covers the Memphis core fast on day one and spends all of day two south of the state line, at the Delta blues pilgrimage that makes Memphis worth using as a base in the first place. Rent a car, both days need one, Clarksdale is about 75-95 minutes south on Highway 61 and there’s no realistic way to do that trip without wheels.

Seven days is the complete version: the city core, both mountain days, and both major excursions, Charyn Canyon and the Kolsai/Kaindy overnight, instead of picking one.

Seven days in Phnom Penh itself is more than most people need, and this itinerary says so honestly rather than padding out a city that runs out of marquee sights around day three. It leans on four day trips to fill the back half, ending with Kirirom National Park, the furthest genuine option in range. After that, the honest move is to leave the city rather than invent more of it, most travelers...
