Planning travel really requires a lot of research.
I don't think I've ever planned a personal trip that didn't involve at least 8 hours of planning.
More research is required for a quality experiences on a limited budget. But the truth of the matter is that most everyone has a budget, but some budgets are more confining than others, especially considering a host of factors including the travel destination, the place of origin for the traveler, the time of year/season, as well as the implications of all those factors.
But if money were no object, it would likely take fewer hours to plan a trip, because it's like the sky is the limit.
