That's good! Yeah, it looks pretty amazing from what I have seen. We have our big trip coming up in a month or so and I am having to fight myself against "over researching". I keep getting the urge to look up this detail or that detail and then I think why not just wait and live in the moment. It's hard!

Honestly, I research the crap out of our destination before the trip but still leave room for the spontaneous. We came across things that I hadn't even heard about while we were in the moment. That balance really made for a memorable trip.

I've got a bunch of articles saved that I am going to reference once we get there, but I am not planning much out ahead of time. Minus the stuff that I need to get tickets in advance for like tours. I want to start researching some of the restaurants, but then again, I also want to just pop in somewhere if we are out walking or driving.

That sounds like a good plan. I use the Notes app in my phone to list 1-3 attractions for each destination then we usually do research on the fly for restaurants.
