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.
