Hey guys, I planned out this itinerary over the last few months. Just wanted to get a general idea of what you all thought about how doable it all is and if there are any obvious oversights. I tried to leave in some free days where I don't have anything specific planned, and I have a handful of free day activities we can choose from as well as plugging in random stuff we find along the way. In general the times for stuff aren't meant to be super strict unless they are in bold since I will need reservations. I have also recorded the travel time between these events to get a rough idea of the overall schedule. My main questions are pertaining to whether or not this schedule is doable and comfortable, as I do worry the beginning of the trip may be too tightly packed. Thanks!
