Spontaneity or Plan, Plan, Plan?

[Lunar270]

Not really an AIBU but would like to understand people's preferences.

I'm perfectly happy to plan but am also pretty spontaneous. For instance, we've road tripped across Europe to Spain and Italy having only booked the first hotel and then booked subsequent stops on the fly.

Often my wife and I will go out for a drive and then stop to eat at anywhere that looks interesting or suits our taste at the time. Could be Thai, Indian, Italian etc.

Some of our friends think we're freaks as they have to plan everything and know exactly where they're eating. Therefore a weekend in London would have an itinerary for lunch, dinner etc.

Obvs you need to plan to some extent but struggle to understand why people have to plan everything.

Definitely no right or wrong, so not judging but just interested in opinions. Thanks!

I have a friend who 'goes with the flow' and hates any kind of planning. We went away for the weekend and she specifically told me that it was a holiday for me too and I was not to do any planning.
Of course, that stressed me out because the last time we went along with her flow, we wasted so much time and ended up in a tapas restaurant starving where a a plate of 4 mushrooms cost £6 etc.
So this time, I planned undercover so when we were out and about, I was like 'oh, this looks good, let's try here. I wonder what's up this street' and so on.
We had a lovely weekend. She hailed that going with the flow works well and I admitted that a lot of that flow was planned.
