I'm an obsessive planner. But I mix some spontaneity in, as well. Basically, I plan out the trip (including places to stay, etc...). But any particular day, if something strikes me, I allow myself to do something completely different. However, I always have a framework in place. In terms of picking places to go, what are you interested in? I like food. So, I do Google searches for best food destinations. I read chowhound to get ideas on where foodie travelers like to go. If you have an interest, just do targeted searches for places to go for people with those interests. Might sound too simple, but it works quite well for me.
