This is what has worked for me but only really applies if you're a certain kind of couple. Also kinda depends on how long you're going for and which country/countries you're visiting... Personally I think it's easy to over plan and we both hate working to strict itineraries. Strip you plan back to bare bones, book any internal travel and a few hotels along the way but don't book all your accommodation, so you can be flexible. Talk to locals and other travellers to get tips on what's on and general local knowledge. Do your research so you have a priority list of things you'd like to do/see. Pin all this on Google maps. Make it an adventure rather than a sanitised trawl through tourist spots.

Once had to explain to an old lady (in full-time employment in a job that requires use of a computer) that the mouse moves around on the desk surface. She was trying to move the cursor by putting the mouse on the screen.

Glad you enjoyed it! You must have very good coordination I think my high score is under 30!

I've called for an ambulance twice in the UK and both times they told me I should drive instead.

I'd heard so many good things about DE but the voice acting felt so jarring it really put me off. Words completely mispronounced (or maybe bad translation) in the intro and no sense of flow whatsoever.

Arguably anything man-made makes a view worse, but as far as man-made structures go they're beautiful. And they give you a free wind gauge just by looking out the window. I'd rather see thousands of turbines on the horizon vs the glow of oil fields or plumes of smoke/steam.

I think they're amazing. The chemistry of colored flame has fascinated me since I was young, and there's nothing quite like being close to explosions. If I had more time and lived in the US I'd be a hobby pyrotechnician.

Also, scroll up to see Alan, the dude behind Valve's Lighthouse tracking tech for VR. And now I just realised it's >20 years since I first browsed his awesome hobby website Alan's Lab.

Pretty sure you can eat Fluorescein with no ill effects other than turning your piss dayglo. It's very widely used as a 'non-toxic' tracer dye so I'd imagine studies have been done.

My lil bro thought hobgoblins were real until he was 14.

Definitely a skill issue at play here.
