Travel Planning: Am I being unreasonable?

Okay heres the basic break down. A few months ago I made a life changing decision, one that involved me dropping out of college and traveling instead, It was met by a warm reaction. I got support from my family and my friends. They agree that with the type of life I want to lead traveling is the better option for me. Now that's not the problem just some basic info...I decided that for my 27th birthday (1 and half years away) I will be spending it in Germany, Amsterdam, and Poland. The locations are non negotiable. I also plan to take this trip alone. My reasoning for this is because I'm already a loner and only have 1 friend outside of my family and mostly I'm perfectly fine with this, and the added fact that I don't have anyone in my life who would even want to do the things I want to do etc. etc. Now. I'm not the type to just say "Yo I'm going to Germany see you later" And since this is a big trip for me (2 1/2 weeks) I'm doing it my way..lots and lots of planning...NOW! I can finally ask my question. It seems as if no on in my life gives a crap about my travel plans (I get it why would they...they aren't going so why should they care) Id like to hope my family and friends would be interested in helping me plan or at the very least let me TALK about my trip. But every time I try it doesn't go over well. I get the strong feeling that they have no desire to hear about it which is stressing me out considerably because I'm getting overwhelmed with the planning and would like some insight. But I'm not kidding when I say EVERY TIME I bring it up its met with them looking at me and saying "cool". or "oh". I even went so far as to call my mom out at one point saying "Do travel agencies still exist because I need help and it doesn't seem that anyone cares about my trip and doesn't want to hear about it" Her response was "Threess on at the bookstore" I took that as confirmation that I'm right... I've had these types of issues in the past where I'm expected to be invovled in everyones life but not vice versa so I should be used to this...but I'm not Phew! So! Story told:

am I being unreasonable to think that my family or friends would lend a supportive ear/hand with my trip or is this REALLY going to be a trip that's all for me?
