Nobody thought you were mate me went abroad first time last year and we went with a final destination (salou, spain) and took 5 days to do all the wiggly bits we could find with nothing booked was mega did not a lot of miles each day but the miles we rode were brilliant, learnt some things and will do it slightly diff next time but the no set miles to do made it all more fun, trying to find a campsite etc to me that is fun to others it would be a nightmare so you got to make sure everyone going has the same ideas etc Most important you enjoy it and get out of it what you want
