Nope - my husband does no vacation planning at all. On his last trip to go see his parents, 3 days before he left he asked me to book him a hotel in their town for one night and book the rental car because he hadn't done it.
There were no available hotel rooms so he had to stay in a town 20 miles away and the rental car cost more than it would have if he had booked earlier. He wasn't happy.
For family trips, he tells me the length of time and tells me to plan it all and then usually about 3 weeks or so before the trip will want to change it to a shorter time and adds in things like wanting to drive someplace to visit friends of his for a day which is awfully boring for the kids and I.
I don't mind doing the planning. I think that's fun. But it always annoys me when he gives no input and then wants to change things up to something that only benefits him after I've done all that work and am having to cancel something that the kids and I were looking forward to.
