But thanks for helping me to emphasize my point - it's NOT nerdy to plan ahead! :)Wrabbit007https://www.blogger.com/profile/09877871484688849785noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24116487878219171.post-60850106544132835092013-03-24T19:21:38.493-06:002013-03-24T19:21:38.493-06:00I prefer planning out my travels as well! Because ...I prefer planning out my travels as well! Because of various confusing reasons, I ended up going to Tokyo with absolutely no plans and little money. It was really not that fun, because apparently all the neighborhoods close everything down on different days, and we kept going to places on those days by mistake. We had no idea what there was to do, and we had very little money, and the people we were staying with practically refused to give us any tips. Next time, I'm having an itinerary!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05450547474008486807noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24116487878219171.post-26410307371046485852013-03-22T12:12:31.818-06:002013-03-22T12:12:31.818-06:00Oh yay!

I want to go up to the northern section and see the Stone Rhino in Hunafloi Bay, but I'm not sure exactly where it is or where to stay. Let's connect on Twitter - my handle is @thewrabbithole I'd love to hear your stories!Wrabbit007https://www.blogger.com/profile/09877871484688849785noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24116487878219171.post-70534652987841901502013-03-22T06:00:31.586-06:002013-03-22T06:00:31.586-06:00I enjoyed reading this post very much.

I'm just like you, I have to plan plan plan trips, if its not making endless lists it's researching, reading various travel blogs etc. It's nice to know there's others out there :) I've previously been to Iceland twice and have another trip booked for May so I always love to read about other peoples experiences and things they have planned. The last time I went, my partner and I drove the ring road of the country as I see you are doing too. There is so much to see and do. If you have any questions about our itinerary we took etc then I'd be happy to help. My partner is actually Icelandic (living in the UK for over 10 years) so that helped us a great deal :) Here's a link to some of the photos we took: http://www.flickr.com/photos/ibreathe/Lynshttp://www.flickr.com/photos/ibreathe/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24116487878219171.post-59975251246322534332013-03-11T22:47:01.933-06:002013-03-11T22:47:01.933-06:00Exactly Alouise!

Can't wait to read your post and compare our styles... ;)Wrabbit007https://www.blogger.com/profile/09877871484688849785noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24116487878219171.post-14254636280177055992013-03-10T21:35:13.202-06:002013-03-10T21:35:13.202-06:00This post made me laugh.

One reason why I love travel planning (aside from the fact that it's fun) is that helps me get excited for a trip, and it helps the trip become more "real" than if I just had a ticket and showed up somewhere. I do know that I can't plan everything either. There's going to be something that comes up and changes your plans, so I've learned to roll with the punches in my travel a lot more than I used to. Honestly your trip to Iceland sounds like it's the perfect combination of travel planning and spontaneity. I wrote about my travel planning ways a while back here: http://travelerahoy.com/2011/02/to-plan-or-not-to-plan-that-is-the-question/<br /><br />Alouisehttp://travelerahoy.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24116487878219171.post-16509823199258777142013-03-10T10:13:25.451-06:002013-03-10T10:13:25.451-06:00I know, I know - I am trying to get better!

I'm hoping to 'go with the flow' a little more.Wrabbit007https://www.blogger.com/profile/09877871484688849785noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24116487878219171.post-32097256990577193252013-03-09T14:18:48.961-07:002013-03-09T14:18:48.961-07:00I can see how much fun the planning ahead is, but ...I can see how much fun the planning ahead is, but truly, it is the unexpected that comes on your path that will leave the biggest impact! leave some room for the unexpected! there are so many beautiful little villages to discover, little fish markets, local stores and restaurants...for the Icelandic people it's their normal,so they won't advertise for it, but it will all be new to you so allow yourself some time to be surprised!A bit of both, that's exactly the way to go!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15972078466295881442noreply@blogger.com
