Some people think that the best way to spend a vacation is without any program. To be honest, I disagree with
this
Linking Words
statement because I think that the best way to spend a holiday is with good planning. Despite the organization, is common to have some troubles during the holidays.
Moreover

, the risk to pay more and wasting time when it happens is high. Nowadays, with an increasing number of applications, if people plan the holiday at the

minute the tickets for the flight or accommodation prices are higher.
For example
Linking Words
, I booked 2 tickets for Rio de Janeiro just one month before the flight and the price was around 1400$.
On the other hand
Linking Words
, in 2018 for the same flight organized 6 months before the price was more than a half cheaper.
Furthermore
Linking Words
, I believe that

time is an aspect to consider. Normally, holidays have a restricted time and when happen something not considered, is needed at least some hours before to solve it.
Otherwise

, with a plan B, these hours could be spent on trips, relaxing or other activities.
For instance
Linking Words
, from my own experience, I spent 6 hours on the train in Monaco to reach the stadium and the reason why was just because the trip wasn't organised.
In addition
Linking Words
, I think that the
last

aspect to consider is that in some countries and in some areas is

dangerous to go there without a plan.
For example
Linking Words
, I believe that in Africa, South America or India a detailed program is needed for safety reasons.
For example
Linking Words
, I know that in Brasil you mustn't go to some areas like favelas because is too dangerous. In conclusion, I think that

vacation without plans could be interesting and maybe full of things to remember.
On the other hand

, I strongly believe that with a program everything is easier cheaper and better.
