Stay optimistic, I'm sure it's justified!

For me, assuming weather, availability and daylight are not constraints it's simply a matter of
- what's at the other end? anywhere with interesting aeroplanes and people is a draw, e.g. I haven't been to Kemble yet and can hardly wait
- what will I see on the way? I am endlessly fascinated by the way the ground looks so different from above, and there are vast swathes of the UK that I am am pretty familiar with as a walker or driver, but have not yet seen from the air, e.g. the Lake District
- what will I learn? e.g. flying into an RAF airfield for the first time, or flying through Class D, or going overseas
- who will come with me? Sometimes its nice to fly alone, but when I'm actually going somewhere I find it's jollier to have company.
