After the first long R2 trip, what would you change in the plan?

Looking back at one completed trip, what single planning choice would you change next time: departure time, charging-stop location, food stop, luggage or destination charging?

Include approximate distance, season and whether the troublesome stop was planned or a backup. Separate actual charging time from time spent reaching a stall or waiting for one.

This is a place for specific lessons from real trips. A useful answer can be “I’d keep the same plan,” provided you explain what made it work.
