'I'm planning to' — chatty spelling

-려구요 is the relaxed spoken spelling of -려고요, announcing what you intend or are about to do: 안 그래도 지금 전화하려구요 'I was about to call them now.' It answers an unasked 'why?' or 'what are you doing?' and keeps the polite 요 while sounding informal. All the lines here are the speaker's own plans, including plans not to do something (화성 행궁은 안가려구요).
