When we tour, we spread out a map on a picnic table in the evening (or maybe call up Google maps) and chat about where we would like to go the next day or maybe generally over the next few days. And we might end up going there ... or we might change our minds in the middle of the day and go somewhere else.

We don't care what time we arrive somewhere for lunch and dinner ... if we're in a town around lunchtime and we're hungry, we'll stop to eat. Same with dinner. It could be the town we kind of thought it might be ... could be a completely different place. And each day ... we might stay around the area, we might cover a short distance, or we might cover a long distance. Depends how we feel.

About the only time schedules come into the situation is if we've got to be somewhere for a flight. And several times we've been meandering around the countryside somewhere, then one of us says, "What date is our flight?" There's a bit of a scramble through the paperwork and we discover that we've got 5 days to get to the airport. So ... "I guess we'd better start heading that direction then".
