The plan trap

After visiting 5 embassies, googling the whole web and literally pleading for help to people, I was going to write a long post complaining about how it's impossible to find accurate or at least non contradicting information about visas, permissions and conditions of stay for the Schengen countries, and then I realized I was getting caught a little too much in this whole planning thing.

Maybe I went through a pre-travel paranoid syndrome, or maybe after preparing this trip for so long I'm getting the need for everything to come up 'right'. The more you plan something, the more it has to work 'perfectly', right? ... And this is how you get caught in the plan trap, which mercilessly crushes your soul with disappointment when you realize the world is not following your perfectly planned schedule, which is one of the reasons why I don't like to plan too much.
