I like to wander. I don't care what I see. It is all about the journey.

I am all about the destination. I don't linger.

I just got back from South Dakota and i learned something interesting. I met a lady who wanted to join me on the trip. I sent her my itinerary and the places i wanted to visit. She said thanks and with that I thought she agreed to the plan. NOPE.

She said that it was about the journey for her and not the destination. Well for me it is ALL about the destination because I am not coming back more than likely. I make a list and I stick to it.

It caused major problems. My question is are you a wanderer or destination kind of person?

I usually had a general destination and a return date. If there were specific events/sights I wanted to see along the way they were options within a rough itinerary. But I tried not to lock in specifics unless I knew lodging/flights had to be scheduled in advance for I found that my most enjoyable moments invariably came from things we happened upon by chance, or because we happened on a detour that struck our muse. And on the rare occasion where we found our original destination wasn't up to our expectations, it was nice to have the luxury to totally jettison and carve out a Plan B on the fly.
