I need a vacation from planning my vacation

Maybe if I weren't so picky planning a trip wouldn't take me several frustrating days of poring over guide books, online recommendations and TripAdvisor reviews. But having traveled extensively over the past 2 years I know all too well the consequences of not carefully considering the choice of airline (it really pays to be loyal), flight times (avoid connections at all costs this summer), hotel (say yes to a/c and no to spiders) and parts of town (far, far away from the riff-raff and masses of tourists). Because I knew I had jury duty I didn't plan anything in advance, yet feel the need to take a vacation right now I'm also battling inflated last minute airfares and scarce hotel availability. I think I may bite the bullet and pay a fortune for a flight on a reliable airline where I have status and we'll get the roomy exit rows with minimal connections since the increasingly frequent horror stories of people getting stranded for days at a time don't exactly foreshadow a relaxing vacation. This will enable us to get the last minute rate on the affordable hotel so I think it all evens out. I look forward to a time in my life where I can actually plan more than 2 weeks in advance and don't feel like I'm scrambling!
