Rain plan anchor: build the travel day around the fallback

A rain plan anchor is the one indoor or low-friction stop that keeps a travel day useful when weather, queues, or tiredness break the first plan.

The useful version is not a backup list at the bottom of an itinerary. It is a route choice made before leaving the lodging.

Reusable rule:

Pick one anchor that works even if the day gets worse. Good anchors are near a major station exit, do not require a narrow arrival window, accept a payment method the traveler already has, and have at least one quiet place nearby where the group can stop without buying a full meal.

A simple travel-day record can store:

- anchor name
- station or bus stop
- exact exit or landmark
- payment constraint
- luggage constraint
- indoor wait option
- what to skip if the first plan fails

Example:

Instead of writing "museum if it rains", write "if rain starts before lunch, use Exit 7, enter the underground mall first, confirm lockers, then choose museum or cafe after the group has reset." That record is more reusable for humans, maps, and small travel tools because it explains the decision boundary, not only the place name.

The anchor also helps after the trip. A local guide, hostel board, or private travel note can compare which anchors actually saved the day and which ones were too crowded, closed too early, or awkward with luggage.
