Nice list as well. This is what makes trip reports so useful. To see how other folks do what we are just beginning to do. Right now we are down to the “9. We are experienced travelers our travel agent has sent us on tours to Greece, Spain and France. As an alternative, the traveler who has been to 7 European countries on his cruise. Eight hours in each port.” and “11. Now the experienced among us. Passport in hand we have visited Europe all at hotels and transportation booked and paid in advance.” levels. So perhaps we will get to the 12 level, but my OCD will likely prevent any further advance to level 13. Besides my favorite activity is learning. So the meticulous research and planning is half the fun of traveling, which allowed use to skip level 10. Have fun in your future strange wanderings.
