Travel planning should be easy and need not be too detailed. One of the more disappointing experiences is when your trip is nothing but a series of missed deadlines and connections.
When you're trip planning, concentrate on the broad strokes -- getting from A to B -- don't worry about what you're actually going to see, nor how you're going to see it. How broad the strokes depends on the individual.
Some people are happy with something like:
Laos 2 weeks, Vietnam 3 weeks
Others may go for:
Northern Laos 10 days, southern Laos 4 days, Hoi An 4 days, Nha Trang 5 days, southern Vietnam 12 days
While others still may opt for:
Luang Prabang 5 days, Vang Vieng 3 days, Vientiane 2 days, Tha Khaek 2 days, Savannakhet 2 days and so on
There's nothing wrong with any of the above, though when you see a trip plan which starts like the following you start to worry:
Luang Prabang Day 1 morning: Breakfast and morning market
Luang Prabang Day 1 mid-morning: Shopping and 1 temple
you get the idea
Having some kind of trip plan is a good idea. It will help you organise your time and get the most out of your trip.
Just don't forget that one of the ideas of having a holiday is to relax, unwind and have a goodtime. A trip plan which tries to fit in too much or is the length of a thesis will not help you relax, nor will it help you have fun.
