planning vs I've planned

I'm planning to stay in New York for a month. Or

I've planned to stay in New York for a month.

This is being said to a friend prior to the New York next week.

Which should be used or are both the same?

Thanks!

Thinking about it perhaps too much, I’d say the present perfect is not appropriate in your sentence. The first sentence is OK. Also possible with the same meaning is I plan to… That is what I would say.
