Hands up and wiggle those fingers, people! Weee!!!
May it be for selfie’s, or for conventional photography, both approaches are best taken with hand waves above shoulders matched with giggles. This is seizing happiness with people close to you, with people who never hesitate to act silly with you, with people who go Dutch with you and with people who are as courageously exploratory as you are. Of course, these people are none other than your gallant friends.
Gallantry in friendship is exponentially immortalized when you are in a good group tour. This is the time when you learn together, spend together, be in awe together, help other people together and have good real fun together. This gives life with friends a dare to win and a curiosity to consume.
This is the kind of group-friendship that I have. And if you have the same leaning as we did, this 5-step-construct would come as helpful when you opt to go someplace as a group, as good friends do.
1. Plan your dynamic day trip or tour.
Arranging a group tour must come with dynamism. As dynamic as a smile, itinerary must be complemented with more room for surprises: surprise location drops offs and calculated lost-ness. Be lost in the beauty of a new place, in the taste of new delicacies, in the grace of new dance or a new stride or a new jump, in the exploit of a new learning and in the experience of a new lifestyle. This is conditioning what comes next is the technical side of the trip.

2. Look for a tour agent.
Tours need not be costly. It only needs to be reasonable. So when scouting for tour agencies, be very particular with the itinerary and cost of each package offered. Most agencies are going the extra mile to custom arrange your preferred destinations within your cut-rate.
3. "Let's go Dutch" budget.

3. "Let's go Dutch" budget.
Budget will make or unmake the whole tour, so everyone must know how they are contributing in terms of transportation, entrances, food and drinks and contingency fund. Going Dutch means fair appropriation and contribution. Though you are not underestimating your friends' generosity, it is however, not to be abused. Everyone must be sensible when it comes to money matters. That's how respect is maintained in the group. Should there be anyone who volunteered to shoulder any cost, that friend deserves the group's pat at the back, good lovin' and good huggin'.
4. Ready your food, drinks and whatever comes with it.
Excitement might pre-empt the food preparation. As this is bound to happen, somebody has to take-charge in this area. When the excitement subsides and the long trip gradually takes its toll, food is the first thing everyone remembers. If food is the 'comfort belt' of every trip, cold water or juices is the re-hydration defense. Meanwhile, while munching on your homemade cookies, sit back and prepare to enjoy the fun core of the trip. Absorb the views and munch on it. wink!
5. Be ready to enjoy while you explore and get lost.
Leave those baggage, take the walk, err, the run and get lost with the group. Everything new will have your hands full. Smile while you get lost in the beauty of the place, in the silliness of a new thing and the intricacies of a new culture/lifestyle. Your readiness to these things will define the whole experience of the group. This is again, conditioning. This should be the backpacked-mindset of the group. Your eyes is the vent to the whole adventure and your attitude will consume it. Be in awe and you'll definitely have an overload of fun, people.
Meantime, do you know where you could find these patios covered with pink flowers that seemed to house no one? I'm lost.
But I'm having fun being lost.
Are you?
