Rolf, thanks for partnering with Tim and getting the audio book out there. I listened to it today at work and it was great.
I want your thoughts on my theory. I have developed the strong belief that planning but allowing the chance for spontaneity is the best way to take a trip. I know this isn't popular with a lot of hard core travelers, but it seems to work great for me. What I do is plan details in advance but book nothing. I write down how I want to spend my time at destinations, what hotels look best, restaurants... I spend weeks of planning but I only book things as I go. My trips change on the fly all the time, and that's just great. But I hate showing up somewhere, asking myself, why am I here? I should be there, and regretting the experience later. Also hate spending my valuable time abroad looking for the best hotel, etc. I think you need a healthy balance of planning but not locking yourself down to anything. Thanks again!
