Insufficient planning can lead to unfulfilled expectations and wasted time. Of course, some people like to do things on an ad hoc basis and there is definitely something to be said for just grabbing your bags and going. However, unless you have the extra time available to spend on your vacation such unplanned trips can cause, proper planning is critical to making sure you see what you want to see in the time you have available. The longer the trip and the more you wish to accomplish during your vacation, the more you need to plan and plan well.
Some of the major things that should be decided in advance are:
• What exactly do you want to see?
• How far are you willing to travel?
• How much time do you have to spend?
• What types of accommodations do you want?
• How much money can you afford to spend?

The first and most important step in the planning process is to write down your proposed itinerary. Block off each day's activities by how long they will take. Be sure to allow enough time for travel, including rest and meal stops. Once your outline is in place, it is easy to make changes.
When you actually begin your trip, the itinerary is your travel guide. Adjustments can be made, of course, as you go along. Be sure to bring along materials on additional places you’d like to see that you can squeeze into the trip if you are running ahead of schedule and have extra time. After all, why not put that time to good use?
