Everyone asks me if we are doing a tour or going on our own. The answer is definitely on our own. I’m a bit of a control freak. I like to have things planned like a tour, but I want to be the one doing the planning. I also very carefully tread the line between totally planning everything and leaving a little room for spontaneity. That is, I want dinner reservations at trendy restaurants in London, tickets for main attractions, etc. He is our abbreviated itinerary.
