"When I put destinations on a certain day, I don't necessarily mean to visit all on that day"

We are not mind readers. How are we supposed to know that? Sorry if you don't like the responses, but how do you expect to get sensible comments if you are not posting an actual itinerary but some kind of wish list?

>>but I have the idea people used to be nicer in their way of answering.<<

Who the heck wasn't nice? Simply pointing out you have a really aggressive plan isn't rude. Everyone offered info and/or suggestions.

Janisj, to be honest it's particularly your posts that seem to have not the nicest undertone. My apologies for not making clear that these were options, not musts. But that's no reason to get sarcastic, is it?

My apologies janisj, it's thursdayd who had the sarcastic tone. It's Friday night and I'm ill, so my head isn't to clear for the moment (and maybe as a young mom it never is, hence my question for feedback not being too clear). Nevertheless, never a reason to be sarcastic imo.

If you think that was sarcasm you have been leading a very sheltered existence. But I will quit the thread since you don't like my comments. Bye.

I'm sorry you're feeling ill, stardust - that's especially hard with a small child, I know. But really, people were only trying to be helpful by pointing out that your plan wasn't very realistic. That's not sarcasm, it's honesty.

What I certainly tried to do is to create an itinerary which enables you to see most of what you have said you'd like to include, but in a more practical way. As ever, it's only as good as the information I have, which needs you to supply the best information you can - it's a two-way street.

As is politeness.

And nowhere did you indicate you wouldn't be visiting (or trying to visit) all those places so we all assumed you would be dashing about like mad men. It seems those were merely questions - sort of "IF you could squeeze them in". Some responses might have been different.

But you take care of your self and when you feel a bit better we can help you work this out -- it is still a LOT of driving/LONG days.
