Are you a planner or do you fly by the seat of your pants?

I am with you. 
My husband, on the other hand, is not. 
Its a constant struggle!

That!!!  I'd lose my mind vacationing that way.  I like a little leeway and freedom to roam, but not like that.

I am a planner.  I stress to much if there isn't a plan.

A combination of the 2, I would say.

I'm a planner when it comes to vacations. However, whether you are a planner or not, I think when you have someone else's kid with you, you should make every effort to get that kid home when you said you would. I would be mad too if I were you.

I'm a planner, but I wish I had more help. Dh has no clue into what goes into planning a trip and is no help at all!

When I worked I planned out every detail.  Now that DH and I are retired my planning is limited to making a list so I don't forget to pack anything and making sure the kennel can board the dogs for an extra day or two if needed.  

On our first road trip with our car club we were given a spreadsheet.  It detailed every minute up until dinner, after that we were free until the next day.  DH and I couldn't wait to get in the car so we could bust out laughing.  8am start, 9:45am approx 90 miles 1st 15 min rest stop, etc.  Believe me, I learned real fast to use the scheduled rest stops whether I needed it or not, there was no deviating from the schedule.  

Another planner here. We even have checking out of a hotel down to a science; DH takes the luggage and one kid. I take the other; we check around the room for anything we may have left, get DH a cup of coffee from the breakfast bar and meet him at the car. That way only one child witnesses the swearing needed to pack the luggage in the trunk.

I'm ok with planning to a degree but at the same time my Dh will plan things to death and it just seems to suck all the fun out of it sometimes. He's good at it and I *know* it can prevent problems usually but just sometimes I'd love to have no plan. It's one of those weird and unusual times which brings out the worst in me and I find myself being deliberately obtuse or argumentative because I just want to grab a few clothes, our documents and go

Planner when it is possible and fly by the seat of our pants when our plans fail or life happens! 

This!

But, DH and I don't plan every activity for every minute of every day. We recently took a long weekend trip with 2 other couples. One of the hubbies planned everything and bought the tickets. That was fantastic, but we were exhausted by the end!

I'm a planner. To the max.

DH, on the other hand, is anti-planning anything.

It's been an adjustment and the result is that I've probably had to compromise more than he has - and to be honest, some of the most fun we have had on vacations has been unplanned.

He does have a fair respect for time, however, and it would be rare that his lack of planning would create a situation like that. Well, he might create a situation like that, but his solution would be to get a hotel, sleep for a few hours, and then leave at 2 or 3 a.m. in order to get me back home in time, allowing me to sleep in the car so that I was rested to go to work. In other words, it might happen, but he would find a way to slide in at the last minute and fix it.
