A plan with fewer stops can allow more time to become acquainted with each location. Browse with your travel companions, compare ideas, and find a balance between what you wish to achieve and what you want time to experience. Allow space for breaks and detours. A physical book is excellent to return to when discussing the next leg of the journey. Revisit an idea you have noted and let the plan evolve as you become familiar with the destination.
