There is something about being familiar enough with a place to
have some larger sense of the place upon arrival. Makes planning
a lot easier too. Takes all of the "have to see" kinda problems away.
Of course it leaves you with the "wanna see again" kinda things.
But the best part is you lose most of the "if I had known that" kinda
moments.
