The trip captain
‘We came all this way’ is how you grind the group down
To plan, by logic, with people. The group chat notice is the itinerary.
Hard truths

How you got here
ESTJAbout you
The announcements start before the trip. Meet at this time, eat here, book the tickets by then — it all exists as a table, and the table gets followed. Some find it stifling; most are relieved, because nothing is left to decide.
Decisions come fast because waste is unbearable to you. Queues, wandering routes, meetings that go nowhere — you hate them, so you calculate around them in advance. Travel with you and no time is lost and little goes wrong.
The weakness is no slack. You'll walk past something unplanned and good to keep the schedule, and when someone's tired you push on with “we came all this way.” Leave one full day empty and this person's trip gets far better.
