Maybe I'm also neurospicy, but I fully don't understand people who go on vacation to get up at 7am, and pack their day full of activities.
When I travel, with my wife or solo, we each pick one thing per day, and the rest we leave open to serendipity - or honestly, just sitting in the hotel room and reading a book. Otherwise, it gets wildly overwhelming.
- aprilthird2021 3y agoI'm one of the people you don't understand. My wife is one of the ones who wants to relax, do one thing, even read a book in the room or at a nice location. When we were first married, I didn't even realize there was a way to travel where you didn't have an itinerary jam-packed from 7am-7pm. We found a nice middle ground, and I think I understand both perspectives now. On the one hand (my hand), travel and vacations are expensive and getting more and more out of reach. There's definitely a need to plan in advance to make the most of your time, especially if this may be your one chance to travel to X or Y destination. On the other hand, travel and vacations are often a much-needed respite from an increasingly mentally taxing work life. If you also mentally tax yourself planning out your vacation and continue to worry about making it to every stop on your itinerary, you will only see your stress levels rise, and the relaxation aspect of vacation and travel can be totally missed.
