Default Re: Will vs going to vs present continuous

I really like using future holidays to talk about the different future forms.

There are fixed arrangements when you need the present continuous.
I'm flying from Heathrow
We're staying with friends
We're coming back on the 17th

There are plans which you can describe with going to do.
I'm going to swim every day
We're going to visit the Taj Mahal
I'm not going to think about work at all

And you can use will to talk about possible changes to the plan.
What will you do if it rains?
What will you do if it is very touristy?
