Managing time on vacation my cousin is of the opinion that if you can’t do it right if you can’t take a long time in a single place and it’s not worth doing my wife and I have been on a number of cruises where we know that just isn’t true you can do an excursion in just a couple of hours have a great experience so one school of thought is that you should really focus on getting to know a particular place another school of thought is the fairest Bueller’s approach to vacations where you do a whole lot of stuff in a single day.
