Planned or Spontaneous?

When you go out or go on vacation, do you plan ahead or just go with the flow? I try to plan the main events ahead of time, such as what resyaraunt we will go to, or will we go to the movie or go bowling. I have never been one that enjoys a lot of spontaneity when it comes to things like that. I like to know where I am going and about how long I will be there so can look ahead to the next move.

when it comes to planning a vacation i always plan ahead cause ive gotta check times and see if i can get off work for it. but when it comes to going out for dinner or making plans for the night my boyfriend and i usually just go with the flow.

Myself, I am more spontaneous. When I go on vacation I go to relax and have no schedule. I may look ahead at places of interest or good restaurants but don't make a specific plan of what day we will do what. I just don't want to be the set on a schedule.

I like to plan my life. Spontaneous is not even for the birds because they go to elaborate lengths to build nests and what not. Cheers!!

I also plan our vacations. I make sure that I book flights at least a month before to make sure will get a good deal on airfare and hotels. I also usually do researches on attractions and restaurants to make sure that we will not miss anything. I also list down the addresses, so its gonna be easy to program everything on the GPS. Of course I also plan on what to wear because Im in charge of the packing! It helps to know the weather on the destination and make sure you're packing up the appropriate attire....I cant imagine being spontaneous on long trips! As for going out, I just want to know where we will go and go with the flow. If we get there and we feel like shopping, then we will. If want to go watch a movie, then we will. Happy Mylotting!

When we have planned to go on a vacation it hasn't materialised as some one would fall sick or something or the other would happen.Now we dont plan at all.If we want to go we just go thats it.We call the place if we can get the room or else change location.There are so many beautiful places to go on a vacation so why to worry for just one place?

I try to plan about as much as possible before I go anywhere. That way, I'll have an idea of where to go and what to do. However, when I get there, I just have a basic idea of what to do and tend to be a little more spontaneous. I like planning ahead so I can be prepared if something goes wrong.

When my husband and I go out to dinner we're pretty spontaneous but when we go on vacation we plan ahead. I want to have a reservation someplace nice so that we're not searching for a room once we get somewhere and we're tired. Because we're smokers we have to be sure to get smoking rooms so that's another reason to plan ahead. We were spontaneous on a trip to Nashville this past September but it turned out to be a good thing since Nashville was larger than we expected and we never would have found any of the hotels we had looked at. Instead, we got back on the highway, took the first exit with hotels listed on the signs and found a nice place that probably cost a lot less.
