I will say that whether you use TGM or any other touring plan, try your best to get everyone in your group "on board." My DH (bless his heart) refuses to ever ever plan for a trip....yet he expects me to have it perfectly planned....which I always DO....BUT, after 4 or 5 days touring with me and TGM's plans, I can feel him getting very irritated by always being told what to do and where to go. He could certainly solve the problem by studying a little himself....he doesn't...but after a while his maleness compels him to want to call the shots. So try to make sure everyone is on board with whatever plan you use.
