Do most people really vacation that way? I like to have something to fall back to, like a rough set of things to do in any type of weather, but I can't imagine making that fallback plan a priority. The priority is always what I feel like in the moment, having experienced what I have just before. Most of the moments I remember come out of spontaneously visiting a graveyard or bookshop locals talk about, or taking a trip to the outskirts of town because they looked interesting from afar. Things I would never have thought to plan!
- friendzis 4y agoThat is exactly my gripe with the article. There is nothing stopping you from spontaneously taking a trip to outskirts instead of downtown, just because you feel that to be a good decision at the moment. And yet your large scale plan to visit town A on day #3, town B on day #4 and be back at airport on day #5 is still valid. At least in my circles people do vacation like that - general macro plan with exact micro decision taken at the moment. Macro plan is there to give general shape and maybe put certain anchor points (hotels, flights in case of vacation). Just because you planned dinner in your macro plan does not make macro plans a bad tool in general like this article tries to portray.
