Yeah, travel has a ton variables and risk to make it overwhelming. Trying match to match personal preferences with all the various factors (time of year, flight timing, locations, transportation options, lodging proximity and quality, food options, etc.) takes time and research. You can typically mitigate the difficulty and risk by throwing money at the problem, but most people don't have that luxury, pun intended. It is fun though, when you find budget stay with a great location, or get lucky with great weather or low crowds.
