Do you enjoy planning your vacation as much as the actual vacation? Almost as much? More?

Not at all?

    No. I thought of it as open ended.

    I plan AMAZING vacations!! It brings out my full creative energy.

    But mostly I take crummy, ordinary, uninspiring, excursions to overpriced tourist-infested dead zones where the locals either want to grab my butt or sell me nasty food...And that's America folks.

    Reality owes me 3 day drunk.

    I love planning almost as the actual vacation! 

    Your trips sound bad. I avoid those problems for the most part because I prefer being outdoors and I don't mind being slightly out-of-season. I've been pretty lucky with weather. (Hope I didn't just jinx myself!)

    Hope your next trip is a good one!

    I enjoy vacations. Planning them is a royal pain in the derriere.

    The only thing that stresses me is planning how to get my work done before I go. I love vacation planning!

    I'm not a big planner.  I like to just go and let it happen.  My husband was a planner which only became unbearable when he found road maps, city maps, attraction maps, park maps.................SCREAM!!   It's smart on one hand, but for a more free spirit, a little dumbfounding.  When we were still kids (20/21) we went to Europe the first time.  No idea about anything.  It was so much fun.  We got in trouble over and over and just had the time of a lifetime.  I've had bigger more expensive trips, but that one was the most fun I think.

    It sounds like the two of you complimented each other well. Glad you have such a wonderful memory! 

    I've been working on having a more relaxed approach with an upcoming trip. I have an idea notebook for jotting down particularly intriguing-looking spots. My plan is to let these guide me as I set off without a specific plan each day, and I intend to have at least one day with no driving at all.

    I hope you have a great time.  And yes, days without driving give you time to experience a little bit.....not just have a quick look.  :)

      My only plan is to make sure the few things I want...really, really want and my animals all are safe (that means in my view) and sound the next time I move.

      Move as in change residences?  That’s not the same thing as going on vacation.

    Yes, as in change residences. I don't plan vacations I have pets and it's too virusry out there.  I'd rather stay home.

      Er, um, the question is about going on vacation, not about changing addresses.
