Then again, there's also something to be said for sitting on my pier for a week with nothing to do but fish. You have a pier?

Depends on who I’m going with. Agree, and it takes way more planning when both the wife and the girlfriend go.

I was talking about how we used to go to Rockport for a planned week of sitting on the side of the bay and fishing all night.

Best one is throw some clothes in the car and start driving. All you know is what time you've got to be back. When we were younger we have had some great vacations doing this- But to the op I would say both can be great-
What has happed to you does not define who you are-
HOW you react to what happens to you DOES!

We usually do one big family vacation each summer with my mom, my sisters, and their families. One of my brothers-in-law is off for about a month before we go (ISD athletic trainer), so he likes to have the days filled with things to do. My sisters are usually okay with it, but my other brother-in-law and I like to play it by ear. I've been working right up until the day before we leave and will have to work the day after we get back...and I want to relax, dang it. I live by my calendar when I'm working...and I don't want to do that on a vacation.
Having said that, I do prefer to have the accommodations worked out before we leave and the rental car situation taken care of about 1 month out. Beyond that just a general idea of what we're going to do. It's much more relaxed and I'm much more relaxed, so we all enjoy it more....

Don't go spontaneous on the hotels in South Dakota. Makes for a long night of driving across the state looking for a room.

I don't travel just to travel. Never have figured out why that's fun for some people. I go somewhere because there is something there that I want to see or do. Mostly do. that's understandable if you are driving across most of the midwest but a lot of this country and canada has some great scenery especially the far west and northwest....the motorcyclist have a great saying "it's the ride not the destination" that is really true in many parts of north america....

Planned, and always be prepared with a couple of back up solutions for potential hiccups and problems. My thoughts too, especially the way things are going now.

When it was just my wife and I, we would just pack up and go. Sometimes Vegas, Lake Tahoe or Atlantic City, sometimes just an overnight trip to gamble in Louisiana. Now that we have our son, a little more planning is required. So I guess it just depends on what stage of your life you're in.

We research accommodations pretty good, typically have 3 or 4 places we want to eat at and beyond that it's whatever. If we are driving we will leave a day or 3 early and hit random stuff on way. Time permitting
