Right now we're in a rut. Our anticipated departure is just over 4 months away and our savings goals are totally on track, but we've both just been really lazy about making plans. This won't surprise anyone who knows us personally. :)
Focus is not really a quality we possess. We've had one main route in mind since the beginning, but we keep tinkering with it. Zach mentioned last night that he thinks we should add Banff National Park (yay Canada!) to the mix, increasing the miles and decreasing the time spent elsewhere. If we're bumping up the distance, I'd rather go to Redwoods. But if we go to Redwoods, why not toss in Yosemite since we're already out in the region and it's obviously a MUST-do? You see our problem. We can never decide if we should spend more time in fewer places, or go see everything we can comfortably fit into three months. It's a tough call.
But on the bright side, we've been doing a great job with our budget and savings. And we DID manage to buy a new (to us) car - a 99 Subaru Outback in totally pristine condition with low miles. It was a great choice and we're really happy with it. Those are two big things to scratch off the list, and now that I'm breathing easier about our financial and vehicle situations, maybe we'll get serious about making a real plan.

Based on past travels, I'd recommend doing fewer things better rather than trying to see EVERYTHING. It ends up being a whirlwind that you don't remember as well, and you spend a lot of time getting places that you could have spent BEING places.
ReplyDeleteYeah, that seems wise. After Bri & I tried to fit 4 European cities into 10 days after our Amsterdam class, I swore I'd never do anything so crazy again. But it's so tempting!
