Do you prefer to research and plan out an exact itinerary or be spontaneous?
A little bit of both.
Tons, of research. I like to know the history about the place I visit.
lots of research...some planning...then wing it...
Yes, I agree with all of you LOL. It depends on so many other factors.
When I fly and will have some free time, I usually do some research and find several options.
...really can't remember any trip with an exact itinerary...
about half and half
if i have others, it takes planning, if just me i usually wing it
Depends on where Iām headed. I prefer preparation.
depends on how complex the trip is. When we do driving trips we just take off. On our trip to Tasmania we got on the ferry with the car, off at the other end and just drove. Over the two weeks we only had two pre-made hotel bookings, the rest we just took pot luck that there were going to be vacancies. For cruises we fly up at least the day before. International is much more complex, and generally I book everything ahead of time.
Depends on the destination, mode of travel, and the time I have to available to wander aimlessly. Both approaches have resulted in fabulous experiences for me.
We research, you never know where roads are closed along the way. Having a GPS is also helpful on long travel days. But we always stop if we see something worth a gander.
I preferably avoid being a colorful puppet.
I go
If I need a hotel I I reserve it
Or if on the go grab one along the way
You could try living for 15 minutes...
Yes.
