Plan, plan, plan. I actually think the planning is as much fun as getting to the place. However, now that my husband and I are retired and about to take our first extended trip in our rig, I am getting stuck in overplanning. I am still thinking "vacation" mode and planning as such instead of just getting an idea of the general direction and then letting things just happen. I think that once we get this first RV trip under our belt, I might be able to relax a bit and to be a little bit looser on the itinerary. Hope our Arctic Fox is as reliable as advertised!

It's a fine line between being spontaneous and being prepared. I think I'm learning to balance the two, but it's tricky. Nothing wrong with reading up on RV related things though, it's always good to know the technical aspect of a rig, and what roads really suck for RVs, etc. What I try to be loose with is where we are traveling to.

I tend to be the same way about wanting to plan everything out before we go. I have to learn to lighten up! I'm listening to William Least Heat Moon's Blue Highways on my iPod as I drive my two-hour-round-trip commute to work. His story is great. Talk about just going where the road leads you! So, reading your post today confirms it: Be open! Rene, I think you’re absolutely right! I tend to be the same way about wanting to plan everything out before we go. I have to learn to lighten up!
