That's a good point. We often "invite" others to tag along with us (so far no one has joined us) but figure it would be a bust since most folks seem stuck in the rush rush rush 1 week gottadoitall "vacation" mentality. I'm okay missing a few things if I only have a week somewhere.
We always plan on plenty of "do nothing" days where we tend to sit around, prop our feet up (maybe on the balcony with a view), read a book, or take an afternoon siesta. Maybe we go out for a bite or to do some shopping, but we don't go out sightseeing on our do nothing days.
I understand how our lack of intensity and focus could be seen as a failure by others.
We're traveling with another couple on our next trip. They texted me a few days ago, asking me for my list of must see's and must do's. They are making their list. The plan is to meet to discuss the merger of our lists and come up with an itinerary. This is going to be brutal.
