Sure, but we start with a map. Pick a base route, then list every pit‑stop that gives a purpose—fuel, food, a good view, or a quick detour that’s not just “just because.” Assign each stop a maximum time window, then add a buffer for traffic or weather. That keeps the vibes up while the logistics stay in check. After the core plan, leave one open slot for that spontaneous detour. If something interesting shows up, we plug it in—only if it meets the same criteria: worth the extra drive and not breaking the schedule. That’s the balance.
