I have known pilots to do just that, but you are violating several FAR's. You as the pilot are responsible for the safe outcome of the flight and that includes making yourself as knowledgeable as possible about the planned route, fuel needed for the expected time in transit plus what is needed to reach alternates(if necessary),weather, destination details, notams(notices to airmen) covering the route and destinations, etc. The FAA is merciless on those pilots that have bad outcomes caused by lack of flight planning. If you are VFR and not transiting certain busy areas, you do not need a flight plan(although it only takes a few minutes to file one and then someone knows your route is something goes wrong-cheap insurance).
