Years ago I went to Las Vegas with a large group of my friends...one of whom was my best friend Jon. He challenged me to go on this trip and not plan anything. I think I actually laughed out loud at him for that one. First of all, I was coordinating 13 people for a weekend -- I couldn't not plan. But more than that? I am absolutely incapable of not planning.
I go on vacations with a folder with every piece of information we might need, every thing that we need to see. I write lists upon lists. My first question of my husband on a random weekend day is quite often "what's the plan for today?"
While I have been accused of being an over-planner, one thing that most people don't realize is that on most occasions I do not care WHAT the plan is I just need to know what it is, if that makes sense. I can generally go with the flow as long as someone tells me what the flow may be. It's an odd mix of being a control freak and yet being easy going. It's an interesting line to walk but I think that most of the time I pull it off relatively well.
