Mostly I used your rule, which either was or morphed into 'only plan 2/3 of any given day, if that.' Which I then take as "don't plan either lunch or dinnertime".
By far the best vacation has been our honeymoon -- we went to Sao Miguel and Lisbon, and had very little preconceived notion of 'What we wanted to see'. We wanted to see: the windmill of the town where Tony's dad was born (Sao Miguel), have cozidos (local food, Sao Miguel is a volcanic island, so they bury the food the night before in pots and you dig it up the next day and have it for lunch).
In Lisbon, we wanted to go to the Fado museum and to a Fado house -- local folk music (mostly nostalgic stuff, very good stuff) then we got a guide book and just had to see the puppet museum.
And yet we filled 10 days of walking around, finding our own memories and treasures and experiences. And when Tony got food poisoning (funny that, with all the pork and clams he was eating :) ) and was out of commission for a day, I went shopping, no plans were ruined.
