I wound up seriously slacking in that department (kicking myself). I usually gorge on only fish and seafood at times like these. I cannot go to a coastal town without enjoying something freshly caught. I also knew that I wanted to eat seafood. Three destinations may not seem like that lofty of a goal, but I was only there for a few days, with the thing that brought me there in the first place, IFBC (International Food Bloggers Conference).
I went in with a clear goal that I was going to visit the Space Needle, Pike Place Market, and see the ferris wheel at the waterfront. My recent trip to Seattle (first time!) was no different. That's what I consider my spontaneous side. THEN, I map out a loose plan, give myself plenty of time, and just go. I go back and look at my outline, and plug-in the new additions. I walk around and look for interesting places. That's what I consider my "planner" side. I don't make a timeline, or even a certain day that each thing has to be done, but I do try to map things out and get an idea of what would make sense. I make a list of attractions, areas, and destinations for my trip that I must visit (especially if it'll be my first time there). I grab a map, because I am totally obsessed with maps-always have been. Nothing rigid, but definitely an outline. I can firmly say that I fit directly in the center of the two types-I'm equal parts obsessive and spontaneous. So, people often refer to two types of trip-takers: the "planner" and the "explorative" traveler.
