Sounds like you had a great time. I know what you mean about not wanting to spend all night looking at charts. I find a mix of planned and lazy observing works best. Picking a handful of objects to hunt down before an observing session works best for me.
Planetaries can be hard to spot because they are nearly all very small and look like stars in a low-power finder EP. But they do look just a little fuzzier than stars at low powers. At higher powers their non-stellar structure becomes more obvious.
