When I retired in 2004, people asked me what I was going to do after retirement. My stock answers were: anything I want to, sleep till I wake up and never set an alarm. That last should be first after 52 years of having to get up at about 06:00 every dang school and work day. I'm on the "relaxing and laid back" end of the spectrum.
Of course, my normal waking times (roughly between 07:00 and 09:00) don't always allow enough time for me to get ready to leave the house for morning appointments, so I do have to wake up to my alarm occasionally. I try to schedule all appointments no earlier than 11:00, but that's not always possible.
In the context of travel, and especially on RS tours, I have to set an alarm daily and try to get to breakfast as early as possible. If on my own staying in a hotel or B&B with limited breakfast hours, I sometimes just do the basics to go down to breakfast, then go back to my room to get ready properly. I hate being rushed.
On most trips, I like to rent an apartment for at least part of the time. That way I can get up when I want or need to, get ready and move at my own pace for the rest of the day. I typically only need about 6-7 hours of sleep each night, no matter where I am. And my shortest trip to Europe was 3 weeks in 2018. Most are 4-6 weeks.
I'm definitely not a go-go-go person and limit my seeing and doing plans each day. Truth be told, I just like to be somewhere else, in a different culture, hearing a different language (or at least a different accent), shopping at a local grocery store, wandering the streets, watching the TV programs -- you get the idea. I should mention that my very first trip was in pre-Schengen, pre-cell phone 1977-78 and I was gone about 4 months, so I guess I was a slow traveler from the start.
That became even more true after I met a young Australian woman at a hostel in Arnhem. She was almost at the end of her gap year and her advice was to limit myself to one major site per day, with maybe a lesser one. Major was defined as a place of interest that requires a significant amount of time to take it all in and learn from it.
I can relate to the person who liked having a room with a view. My favorite view so far was from my 1st (European) floor apartment in Venice. I was there 5 nights. The building was on the Fondamente Nove near the Campo dei Gesuiti and faced the lagoon. My view was of Cemetery Island (Cimitero di San Michele de Venezia). One morning as I was having my coffee, I was able to look out my living room windows and watch a regatta pass by with all kinds of boats, including gondolas. I took a picture and sent it to a friend in WA. Her response was that she'd spend the whole time there just looking out the window. Yup!
