Yes, I make a detailed itinerary. We have very few vacations, so we make them count. I do extensive research before each trip, and include activities that each person likes so no one feels left out. It's not go-go-go all the time, OP: planning doesn't have to mean packed schedule! A lot of our desired activities usually require reservations, tickets, bookings, so they need to be scheduled in advance, and the distance of travel to and from our hotel or rental needs to be calculated, to avoid having to stress at the last minute that we didn't plan enough time.

Over the years, I've found that this meticulous planning helps me have a relaxing but interesting vacation.

^ is how I like to travel as well, be informed about my location, ensure I'm not missing out on something I'd really like to do because it needed advance reservations and everyone gets a say it what is planned. We have down time and flexible schedules but things like hotels, flights are scheduled in advance. Meals are only scheduled if its something special or we are traveling over Christmas when things can be closed. If there is a museum I really want to see and hours/days are limited and you need a timed reservation then I'm going to ensure that's done ahead. Most meals are done on the fly and folks can stay back if they aren't interested. To OP: If I was traveling with a group of friends, I'd want to make my needs/interests were also being considered. Or at least it wouldn't be an issue to pass on something. If you don't have the conversation before you leave, its not going to be better when you are traveling.[/quote]
