When a trip is well planned out, there are few surprises, except for…

• the corners you turn
• the sights you see
• the camaraderie you share
• the great restaurants you happen upon
• the places you visit that were not on the itinerary
• the actual view of seeing things in person that you have studied, researched or watched on television with a famous tour guide

A well planned out vacation is a good way to spend your time. Even better is arriving back home with (nearly) everything you brought with you – and then some. This all makes you feel as though you got through everything you wanted to see and do. Now, you just have to decide you will go back to see again some day, this time with experienced, but still fresh eyes on the journey you take.
