Scripted and unscripted vacations
This isn't really a vacation idea or a vacation plan; it's a discussion about planning vacations or winging it.
A few days ago I wrote about my friend's vacaton to Vietnam and Cambodia. As I told my wife, I'm jealous. Partially because his vacation will be 3 weeks or so longer than mine but also because it won't be scripted.
Here I am going through my Lonely Planets, picking out the things I want to do in Bangcock, the things I want to do in Malaysia, the things I want to do in Singapore... Don't get me wrong, it's all interesting stuff, but it's not quite an adventure.
I remember going on a road trip when I was in college. It was winter, and our plan was to drive south until we were warm. Three weeks later we were in Orlando Florida having a great time as we did most of the way down there. Of course, it's easier to meander in your own country, but it's certainly possible to do it in a foreign country (as my friend is proving right now).

This entry is over 3 years old Jennifer so I'm not sure you'll get many responses. Why don't you tell me a bit more about the vacation, like wqhere you're leaving from, where you want to end up, how long you want to be on the raod, what your hobbies and interests are, etc.
Email that stuff to me at jtrotta@gmail.com and I'll post the question in a new blog entry where you have a better chance of getting comments.
