CBQ#260
Would you prefer to plan your vacation or be spontaneous? I enjoy spontaneity overall. Of course it is helpful to have a destination and find things to do along the way Not having reservations has proved more difficult than planning ahead. (see here ) But planning has disadvantages as well. I suppose if you are familiar with the drive and area making reservations may work to your advantage or having the hotel as the destination and not a stop on the way. You don't know when during the drive you will be tired. If you're not familiar with the drive you may accidently book yourself in a seedy or industrial area. You may misread the map and book yourselves 40 or 80 miles (or more) out of your way. You may be rerouted due to elements or traffic. I prefer spontaneity.
