sually, I do an inordinate amount of planning for a trip - easily spending upwards of 6 months to work on the details. For example, the trip to Central Asia was just over 7 months in planning! Same for Greece and Turkey. This trip has probably taken two weeks and most of that was spent reading up on the places to go and things to see.
This is the first trip for Z and I and the first overseas that he's been on without his mom and brother in tow. So, I want him to participate in deciding on what we do, see, and eat. That meant holding back on the planning. But, I still had to do some planning so I concentrated on reserving our accommodations, getting a general idea of train schedules and booking us on one tour. Other than that, we will be relying on Information and Visitors Centers to give us the information we need. - we're going to be on a constant lookout for the ubiquitous *i*.
