There's nothing in the above eulogy that appeals to me in the slightest. I
would hate the idea of having a set routine each day while on holiday. I'm
leaving for France in a few days - we'll drive down to the south and hope to
get to Corsica for a few days. Apart from the first night I've no idea where
we'll spend each evening, which to me is what makes the travelling enjoyable.

Well it's different if you're traveling from another continent and
you're going to some of these smaller towns, you don't know what kind of
accommodations would be available.

Not endorsing cruises though. Used to be that only seniors took
cruises. They've expanded their demographic but still, who wants to do
only day trips after you've crossed the Atlantic?
