Well planned or loosely planned

That trip of yours sounds fun. :) Traditionally in my family things vacations are planned down to the last pin head sized detail. To what we will see to where we will stay. Even where we eat. While I do like knowing what comes next I find the approach boring after while. Vacation is about relaxing and exploring! If I want to follow a schedule I'll stay home and work. My nature leans towards a "pack the car and see where we go" approach.

hi sarah, the things that should be part of the planning are the expenses: transportation, place to stay and the place itself. but as to the activities, i prefer it unplanned so as not to be hurrying up. i just make sure that there is a guide, and that is it. ann

I don't like planning the rest of the vacation. Maybe some of it but not all since it's supposed to be fun. The thing is, if I plan on things, I'll see them differently and it'll lose the surprise it might bring to the whole thing.

If it were just up to me, my vacation would involve travelling somewhere, and then planning absolutely nothing when I get there. It also means doing absolutely nothing there! But with kids, it has to involve planning. And what sort of activities they would have.

Hi sweetie. I just go with the flow. I am the kind who would rather do what i feel like, rather than doing something that was planned.

I don't plan.I guess because i don't find it fun when you plan.It's better to just go with the flow because it's more exciting.There's like an adventure there.So when i go on vacation,i don't plan.I just go with what i want to do for the day.

I am a guy who does a lot of travelling. Every year there would 2-3 trips around India where I will go with either family or friends. So I lot a lot of planning for these trips. Early on in teens, I used to be very particular about every activity and ended up being highly tensed up and usually came back from trips disappointed while others seemed to enjoy it a lot. I realized the fun was not in all the activities but in how you do the activities. So now, I have cut back on my planning. I usually have a rough plan accounting for 60% of the activities and the rest I simply go with the flow. With this approach, I have started to enjoy the trips that much more and it is overall much less stress and fun. Cheers! Ram

I am an independent traveler and I usually go on a flight to a gateway airport. Next I travel around that region staying in around 3 to 10 different places. That way I can see cities, beaches, historical sites, countryside and wildlife. Before my trip I read a travel guide book to get ideas about the cost of accommodation and the transport in that country like trains, buses and ferries. I have an idea before I go of places that would interest me. For every trip there is a main focus like Cape Town the year before last and Vancouver last year. On my trip this year our baggage was delayed and my disabled son plus my daughter got sick. Due to this we had to stay eight days due to this in our first place rather than 4 days. My best trip was five years ago and on it I went to Mexico, Belize and Guatemala. I loved climbing the Mayan ruins, snorkeling the around the reef and staying for a few nights in a tree house. I tend to be busy sightseeing in the day and go back to where I am staying in the early evening for safety.

I like to fly by the seat of my pants...do whatever seems to be of interest on a certain day...not following a schedule. Some of my best trips are those that we just go with the flow.

It's usually pretty loosey goosey. I have some idea where I want to go and what I want to see, but most of it is usually not planned out in advance.

I wish I had that problem! I've never had a real vacation! I just don't have the money to go on one! I have tried to save up the money! Something always happens andmy vacation money ends up going for something else! It sucks! I'll have to win the lottery to go on a real vacation in the future!

I like to know about the country where I go, t know what to expect. But from the time I reach the country, I dn´t plan much. There are certain musts, such as getting maps, discovering what to see nearby and where to buy food. I also check what the hotel (I usually stay at aparthotels) offer me so that I can take advantage of that. Each morning I plan a bit and a lot more if I decide to take a tour (as I did at Cancun when I visited ChichenItzá. I love to travel and I love to get the most of my vacations! Have a nice day!

I plan every activities because I do not want surprise on vacation, but I can always make changes

I'd like a bit of both too unless it's a very short vacation and I can't see or do much unless I plan every moment. Personally for me ...a vacation is also a time to relax. But it doesn't always happen that way because I travel with the family and need to consider everyone's needs too.

Nstead of taking long vacations, we take mini ones when we can afford it. We're taking one next week for our fourth anniversary. We plan a bit, but we make sure to have lots of free time tofair in the hot tub.I

We've got a holiday planned soon, and I have nothing planned at all bar a family gathering. I've a couple of ideas for places to visit, but that's it. The whole point of being on holiday is to relax and take things as they come, or at least I think so!

Heyya sarah...I usually like loosely planned vacations. I feel like everything in my life is scheduled so when I have time off...nothing is scheduled..lol. I might have a few things in mind to do but for the most part..it's free sailing.

I am not a fan of planning. Every time I plan something it never goes that way, so I would say loosely planned, I will do what I want when I get there.

I prefer planning of things before I start doing them and most wise people consider it as wise.
