Planning Your Next Reach

[Luvsdaislands]

For every trip I take to Jamaica I have a long list of things to do and I usually do 3/4 of them and I make a list of clothes to take according to those things. BUT I have been so busy this year that for my December trip the only thing on my list of things to do are the places I will eat dinner, LOL!!! I want to do absolutely NOTHING this trip!!! And I am just bringing sundresses, swimsuits and old navy flip flops!!

Am I the only one that has every planned to do NOTHING??

[irieworld]

it is the best way to go!

Shoot..I always plan to do nothing! The only thing I plan for is the flight, hotel, and the ride there. I make sure I bring clothes that fit any occasion so I can be prepared for anything! You just never know what will happen in JA...a simple walk to the store can change your day. lol

I confess ... I'm a list maker.

Our first reach we experienced a real bad case of sand gravity. It was just too easy to walk across the street for jerk chicken or hit the bar next door and not even change out of our bathing suits. Once we got home we regretted not going here or not going there. So on our last reach we made a list of things we wanted to do. We actually did more than half of them.

As far as clothing, we went from taking two suitcases for a week to just two carry-on's for two weeks.

I always search, read reviews, check locations on the Negril map in relation to where we are staying and make a "wish list" of bars, restaurants, site seeing, etc... that sound interesting. I make it to some of them. I am not much of a lounge around person. Betty can sit or lie around reading a book or magazine all day. I usually walk about or grab a taxi checking things out while she lounges.

I am guilty of over planning. I think it must be the engineer in me. Being our first real reach to Negril, I want to hit as many of these great restaurants as possible, along with a road trip (YS Falls, Appleton tour, and Tosh Mausoleum).

This is me, too. I make sure I have my bathing suits & tanning lotions, running misc, plenty of books on my Kindle, as well as the above & I'm good to go. So true that a simple walk, simple encounter, can change your day. That's the beauty of planning nothing.

i have perfected the art of doing nothing - my last trip me and my girls sat on loungers in front of bar-b-barn for 7 days straight - we didn't even get up to go to the bar - i love the super relaxed feeling when the tension in my shoulders fades away - to me that's a vacation!

I am a planner....I make lists and plans, etc.
But I usually never follow them exactly and I surely never complete the lists.....and I LOVE it that way
Plus an uncompleted list ALWAYS gives you a reason to go back (not that you need a reason)

I overplanned my feb trip this year. So i am going again in November and am planning to do nothing. I might sit on the beach and not move!!!
