Did I spell that right..........
Don't fly completely by the seat of your pants, but don't run it like a military exercise either. The best things happen by chance...
Spontaneity
Yeah.... unplanned trips, drives, holiday are da best!
I like waking up without a schedule to adhere to. That's what I call a real holiday!
I remember a memorable long weekend in Amsterdam when I was 18. I decided to go on the Friday morning and caught the coach from Victoria Station that evening. What was good was the opportunity to let the weekend happen, and it was dictated by the great people I met.
I reckon all you need is a ticket, some gear and a good guide book (I like Lonely Planet) and then you can dip in and out of it if you feel like it, or not...
I also had a similar weekend recently when I decided to head off to Venice. Again i went alone and just walked a lot, met some great local people, followed some of their advice, heeded some of Lonely Planet's and just did whatever my mood dictated... Gosh it was great.
Sending ...
