Ok… maybe I go a TINY bit overboard with the planning somtimes, but I have a really good excuse. You see, last February, I was put in charge of planning the itinerary for our Spain trip. And I might have messed a few very small parts up (such as any directions to anything whatsoever). After getting lost 18 times, Michael became very mildly annoyed one evening after we trekked through Sevilla for 90 minutes trying to find a hotel that ended up being 50 meters from our start point.

The pocket contained such things as detailed directions, hotel and ferry reservations, area restaurants, etc. The average pocket had about 20 pages in it.

Everything was going along just fine until the day I proudly presented Michael with our 11 page itinerary for the day (which included a 5 1/2 hour self guided walking tour). I captured his response below:
