[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am not opposed to people who want to go away on one-on-one vacations - works great for them.  I don’t think they are selfish, don’t love their children, have weak marriages (!) or any of the other things we have heard on this thread.

For us, family vacations are a big part of our life and the kids really enjoy it. I know it was hard when they were under 5, but I do think it’s the practice that has made them great traveling companions. They are early teens now and plan with us where we want to go - Africa this summer. Machu Pichu is calling our name. Now that we are past that all consuming early stage, I know that childhood is short and I would at this point not give up any vacation time with my kids. I also believe that in the early years, we needed to take them (child friendly) places so they learned how we wanted to operate as a family.  My husband was around before kids and we’ll be together when the kids flown the coop. Maybe it’s the wrong choice but it feels good to me. [/quote]

Family vacations are important to me too. So are trips with my spouse. We do both. Went to Tibet with my spouse and Europe twice with the kids this year. I think they are doing fine.

As for “child friendly” - does that mean Disney?
