In Reply to: Plan, Plan, Plan or play it by ear? posted by travelbugz on Thursday, 18. March 2010 at 08:50 Bali Time:
I plan some things on set days, plan to do other things but decide a day or two in advance, and other things are done on the spur of the moment. But I go for 4 weeks, so I have plenty of time to play with as far as missing out one day, and doing it another day instead.
The only thing I definitely book a date ahead of time is a visit to my sponsor boy's school. I have other things I plan that I will do on the trip, but usually only book a driver a day or two ahead. Other things are decided when we wake up in the morning, or maybe the night before, but that's usually things you don't need to book ahead for such as going to Waterbom etc.
I've never arrived in Bali with a daily itinerary sorted, but rarely ever gone home having missed out on something I wanted to do.
