The Joy of Planning

旅行に行く前、皆さんは何をしますか。私は旅行の計画(けいかく)を立てている(とき)一番(いちばん)楽しい(たのしい)と感じます。ガイドブックを見たり(みたり)、インターネットで美味しい(おいしい)レストランを探したり(さがしたり)するのは、とてもワクワクします。

最近は地図アプリを使って、効率よく観光地を回るルートを考えるのが好きです。もちろん、計画(けいかく)通り(とおり)にいかないこともありますが、それもまた旅の醍醐味(だいごみ)です。予定(よてい)詰め込み(つめこみ)すぎず、余裕(よゆう)持つ(もつ)ことが大切(たいせつ)ですね。

Translation

What do you do before going on a trip? I feel that the time spent planning the trip is the most fun. Looking at guidebooks or searching for delicious restaurants online is very exciting. Recently, I like using map apps to think of routes to visit tourist spots efficiently. Of course, things don't always go according to plan, but that is also the real thrill of travel. It is important not to pack too much into your schedule and to leave some room.
