Overtourism killing spontaneous vacations

found this very interesting especially in light of the fact that everyone always blames Disney for having to preplan their vacations. Seems like it is not only the mouseworld.

It's museums-centric but evidently a lot of places are turning to prebooking to help elevate waits.

When my wife and I first got married in the 80s we would take random spur of the moment trips. We would pool our cash we were to spend and put in the car console, then we would take off driving. No plans, just whatever felt good at the moment. we would travel for next few days until we spent half the cash we had put in the console. At this point we would start heading back home. We were never sure where we were going to end up or spend the night. Best memory is setting at a little winery watching the sun go down over a great lake with my wife.
