When it comes to your question about whether you should write about this... It's certainly a very valid post that could go into more depth. But, in the end, you have to write about what speaks to you in your soul. If you write from there, you will find the people that want to read what you write.
I think the length of post depends on the content. If it is lists of travel tips, shorter is probably better. If it is an description of how a place feels or why you should explore a place, perhaps a longer post is more appropriate.
As for the questions, I always ask if I would regret it later. (I do the same for shopping—will I regret not buying it?)
If my gut instincts don't kick in right away, with a solid "Yeah, nah!" I tend to ask myself, "What's the worst that could happen?" and then work from there. I can't say I've ever done anything for a story... it's more the story worthy things are done in the spur of the moment, with very little thought.
I liked what you said about “regretting not doing this later”, and it’s very true. It is what fuels my passion for travel and exploration. Even if it’s just taking a day trip to do a day cruise at a nearby place, it’s still getting out of the house and exploring and sharing your experience to connect with others.
I liked all your essential questions especially the 'will I regret it later' one. I've been playing with shortening my posts, but sometimes it's not possible to get all the info out there. I like Pamela's response below about writing what speaks to you!

I personally like the short, concise read, Dan! But I’ve enjoyed your longer posts as well. Do what works for you!
