Hesitation

katriona_sSince the end of the last year, I have tried to plan my holiday trip. Domestic, and foreign. I’m an office worker and usually do my job by myself(means, can not ask someone to do my job during my absence), so do not have much choice when to travel. It’s not difficult to take 1 or 2 days off from the office, but as for 1 week or 10 days travel… yes, I need to plan it some months prior and manage many things.
First I have to decide where to go of course, but I also need to think if it’s the good time to visit there. Mostly the purpose of my trip is outdoor activities- hiking, or if possible sea kayaking so the weather is the important point, but difficult to know beforehand, of course XD And I need to book the hotels or the flight tickets, to get them as reasonable as I can.
As for the foreign trip, I’d like to visit UK, there are 2 areas where I want to go. They are Cornwall and Scotland - as you know they are literally the opposite ends of the country XD - and I want the relaxed stay, not the bustling up to visit many places, so I should decide which to go - I can’t take the vacation long enough to visit both areas. It’s difficult to choose for I have some good friends I’d like to meet in both areas, (though I’m not sure if they’d have time to see me). Also, I have heard about the difficult situations in UK last year - the strikes of the public transportation or the confusion at the international airport etc, they discourage me a lot. I can’t foresee them like I can’t the weather. Should I risk my precious paid holidays and much money for that uncertainty?
And, in the first place, should I make holiday trips for fun, when so many people are suffering, especially in my own country, in Noto peninsula where many people are dying in the damaged buildings just now, or losing everything and suffering at this very moment? Should I use my money for those people, not just for my fun? Maybe enjoy just a short domestic trip and donate the rest of the money?
So, I can’t decide anything at the moment, so hesitant about many things :(
