does anyone else have travel planning anxiety?

i'm planning a family trip for my parents and sister this summer, and i feel so anxious and nauseous researching tickets and hotels and transportation methods (my parents don't know english well and can't navigate the internet so they can't rly help)

it just feels like so much pressure and i'm thinking about all the what ifs and what can go wrong (what if i miss train? what if the bus never comes and leaves us stranded? what if the hotel doesn't actually receive our booking? what if the locals are rude? what if they don't enjoy the trip? what if everything's a waste of money?)

all these thoughts make me feel i should rather stay home

this is more of a rant post, would like to hear you guys' thoughts and experiences

so i usually give buyers a close intersection and ask when they'd like to meet... then i give the exact address once they text me they'll be on the way soon, is this a normal procedure?

because sometimes buyers get mad for not receiving the exact address when they don't even tell me when they plan to come?

i don't feel comfortable giving strangers my address and having them show up when i'm not home, do they not understand this?

and sometimes they say they don't know when they can come because i haven't given them the exact address, but that's why i gave you the closest intersection?

am i making the process too complicated by not giving them the address right away? what do you guys do?

my parents are teochew but born in vietnam, i'm born in canada

i've been immersed in viet culture and been there to see relatives a few times, so i say i'm chinese-viet, but i've never been to china

but i sometimes don't feel enough of both, i can speak teochew but not viet nor canto like my parents

i want to know your experiences and what you identify as
