What a fun idea! I'm impressed. I've never followed anyone else's itinerary. Or at least not a stranger's. But, my ideal vacation would be to let someone else make all the decisions, though. I mean, it would have to be someone I trusted. I also am confused by the fanny packs that go over boobs. Maybe someone should market an over-the-boob pack w/an itinerary inside. Good for you for going out and being spontaneous and having an adventure.
What a cool idea! We would definitely be good friends IRL - I love to research our trips. Before the Internet, I planned a trip to Istanbul using Fodor’s books and an online forum. I chatted (maybe messaged?) with an Australian woman who had just gone and she recommended a few churches and restaurants that we tried and loved. So I guess I haven’t done a complete itinerary recommended by a stranger (although now I’m intrigued) but I did follow the advice of an online stranger! I’m with you on the fanny packs over the chest thing - I saw a photo of myself wearing a crossbody bag and said, never again.

Thanks Sue! It was both freeing and limiting to follow someone else's itinerary. I would do it again but I wouldn't always travel like that.
This was pure gold, Laura! GOLD!!!
Thanks Nicole! I had fun writing it.
