[quote=Anonymous]we always book hotels/B&Bs with free breakfast.
That way, we fill up and only need to eat once more late afternoon or evening. We're not foodies though.

Always check the country for closings - Sundays, bank holidays, holidays in general and plan your trip around them and when they'll be closed. Maybe that'll be your rest day.

Really know yourself and if you want to be on a tour bus, train, etc. We hated our one tour in Ireland because they stopped too much and we wanted to be on our way. We rented a car in Scotland and were able to go everywhere at our own pace. 
We're going to Switzerland and will train there, because they do it right and charge a lot for speeding if you drive. 
Many European countries don't have bags for groceries and I knew this but continued to forget mine at the hotel because...America. I ended up carrying groceries in my hoodie. 
Stash roll up bags in your purse/backpack that you have with you all the time. 
Figure out how other countries do/handle laundry/laundromats. We were gone for 10 days and half way through our Scotland trip, found a laundromat in Inverness. There was an attended who let us explore the city while he moved our clothes from the washer to the dryer and even had them folded when we returned. That was divine. 
Caribbean islands: accept that you won't be doing laundry unless you pay $$ for it. I brought powder and sink washing supplies but nothing ever dried. it's too humid.
