Planning activities and leaving room for spontaneous moments is one of the best ways to enjoy vacation time.
I used to have an itinerary for my trips and go from one activity to another activity. With that type of schedule, I felt accomplished and proud. There was no much time for “unplanned” activities or moments to just relax or take a break. I was always on the go. If an activity or event started late or went over the scheduled time, we would have to rush and “new/other exciting activities” would have to be rescheduled until next time.
Now I find more joy in planning activities for my trips and leaving ample room to take a break, rest or do an activity that could come during my trip. It’s a better way for me to have an enjoyable vacation experience.
