This assumes that you plan your complete itinary before you go.  In general
when I go on vacation I have no idea when I will be where.  I have done it
exactly once, to the south of France.  We nearly drowned in the water (it
was a bit rainy).  If we had not planned the stay exactly (to the point we
could not move anywhere else) we had moved the first day to somewhere else,
which might have been Italy, or Spain.
