Should we make detail plan for our vacations?

Making plan is very important for every activity to ensure the timing a success. When vacation time comes, people will make their own plans in their own ways. Some one make really details plans while others just go for some sketches. In my opinion, I would like to build a simple plan leaving most details flexible.

Firstly, making a detail plan is really difficult to most people because everything is changing. You can not know whether an event will go right as you expected or not. And some unpredictable things may happen and they could change the rest of your plan. It is very likely for you to miss a trip due to bad time or traffic jams. Or you have to take a train instead of a bus because you could not get a ticket. Things like that make your perfect plan impossible and you have to change it constantly after all.

Secondly, it is interesting letting surprises happen and enjoy them. Some things may occur without your preconscious, and as in your vacation time, they are spices for your trip, making it a more memorable time. Your train maybe late, and then you have chance to make friend with someone you never ever imagine you will meet.
Or you probably go to a place by accident, then it becomes an unforgettable moment in your life.

In short, I would support the one who makes his vacation plans with only crucial spots, as I believe that would be the best if you want a really amazing vacation time.

Have meet with Ivan

Today I met Ivan, a guy from Ecuador, who is travelling across the SE Asia. We talked a lot. We share so much interests especially technology. He is such a great guy, a true geek having great passion with technology. Having worked as a programmer before, mainly with web and software development, Ivan is now pursuing Master degree in CS in Australia. He wonderfully got a one hundred percent scholarship of Ecuador government. He is focusing on distributed computing and using Perl language as the tool for data querying in back-end programming. I am so interested in what he has been doing. He such a talented guy and has so much motivation in coding. He joined IEEE and gets its magazine with him.
He also showed me his country's foods which include something like plantain (kind of banana, I think). Plantain can be cooked to many dishes and he like them so much.
Ivan lives in a city in Ecuador, he lets me see some pics of his hometown. It's a nice place and I would like to visit someday. He recommended me some countries that I should visit when I would have chance to go to South America. Bolivia, Peru, Galapagos island are some nice places like that.
We were having coffee when we talked about those things. It's was so nice. Then we went to the Old Quarter for some food, as he had to come back to the travel agency. We had a small pizza and a couple of Pepsi. We discussed about the development board and some projects that he had implemented with the board.
I was so amazed with his work and his passion and really want to meet him again, someday...

I hate this feeling

I feel so disappointed with everything. I know I shouldn't feel this way and be strong but I can't. Sometimes I am so weak and I have no motivation to work, or talk to other people, I just want to have a sleep and never wake up. However, I am scare of this thought, which could let me down more. I need someone who understand me and can give me some encouragements and make me feel better.
It's too hard to find anyone like that, even my close friends don't understand me. This lonely feeling is so terrible.
