Budgeting
Money

Luggage
Jason Idea
Instead of bringing individual luggages, we can plan to just bring 3 or 4 medium sized luggages and combine our stuff. Two or three people can share one luggage for the items that they do not need to carry all the time (like clothes, shower equipments). This way, if we need to go by car/taxi, it will be much easier and faster to put things in the trunk. It will be less of a hassle in the airports as well.
I guess if we want to proceed with this plan, we definitely need to plan ahead on who's responsible for what and either pack some stuff the day before (Thursday) or pack in the office before we go to the airport.
While I am at it, perhaps it is also a good idea to buy a big shampoo and a big bottle of soap to be used for sharing, and just worry about your other individual stuff (facial wash/perfumes).
Actionables
Itinerary planning to be conducted daily (or at leasy bidaily) on weekdays after hours
Itinerary planning task to be splitted to each tour member for efficiency, i.e. each person plans different domain of the tour (transportation, accommodation, place to visit, budgeting) for each country to be visited
Decide/Book for any intracity and intercity/intercountry transportation needed
