Hope you have a wonderful trip! I'm so interested to see your experiences with travel after a long layoff and feeling anxiety/overwhelm. I am also facing those same feelings as we look at planning our first "travel trip" vs. purely vacation to the beach trip for later this year. The idea of coordinating an itinerary and figuring it all out just seems so impossible and I'm not sure how past me did this.
Also wish I could avoid the judgement/shame/ick from others IRL and online about travel plans. How do we all collectively agree to stop doing this??
I agree, it’s almost as if we’re pre-fatigued while planning trips these days. As much as we want to optimize and have it all when we plan to travel (which is always, it seems, more expensive and less convenient than ever before), it sometimes can make all the difference to just give ourselves room to breathe and enjoy simply being in a new place. I’d say we 50% planned this trip. Hotels and day trips are all booked. The rest were going to leave up to local recs and our moods.
I hope you have a wonderful trip! I've been to Ireland once and Galway, the Cliffs of Moher, and Kilkenny were my favorite parts. I am looking forward to your pics and thoughts.

That sounds like a great approach! Book the big things and fill in the gaps as you go.
Have a wonderful trip!!!
