I am going out of my mind.  I know this is not a real problem but booking a holiday?  Sheesh.  When did this become yet one more thing which has become so complicated?  Choice was meant to free us but I feel it has done the opposite.  I remember booking my first independent holiday in the mid 80s.  I waltzed into a travel agent, looked at one brochure, made a decision based on my budget and put down a deposit.  Then pretty much forgot about it till it was time to shop.  I'm probably over-simplifying but I'm not far off.  Now?  Gawd, tons of brochures, types of accommodation to decide on, a kazillion online additional ways of finding a holiday and  Trip Advisor, oh the dreaded Trip Advisor!  We continue searching because of the 'what ifs'.  What if I can get this one cheaper, what if a better place is out there?  All this, just for a few days in some sun.  I can fully understand why people return to the same place year after year.  They just cannot be arsed to do the research.  I am seriously not designed to be living in this era.
