I thoroughly enjoy planning and organizing my trips. Just give me a good map, a good guidebook, and google. I'm much smarter about route planning than I was when I first began to tour. It also can be extremely helpful to get input from other cyclists you meet on the road, as well as on forums like this. While it would be an interesting experience for me to be waited on hand and foot with one of the high-end touring companies, I think I would feel frustrated not being able to plan my own route or select where I was going to eat in the evening. I probably would enjoy not having to look for a place to stay at the end of each day, however. But even that is only a problem on rare occasions.
