[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I agree with the poster who says travel before marriage and kids. Between my job and fun trips, I visited 35+ countries before I got married. DH has no interest in flying, my kids have no interest in going anywhere but the beach, and I know I am not missing anything. We will be empty nesters and retired in 2 years at 60, and my plan is to see this country. Roadtrip everywhere.[/quote]

I don’t think I could marry someone who did not enjoy travel.

I am surprised that don’t want to expose your kids to other people and places.
 Don’t you think they have no interest in it because they have not seen it in their family?

Did your family expose you to travel growing up?[/quote]

My mom was an immigrant, so we travelled to her country every few years, but money was very tight. I have been very lucky to travel so much overseas. Regarding my husband, i convinced him to go to the UK twice, but he is very tall and so traveling was uncomfortable, and he's not into crowds, so it wasn't much fun. I had the travel bug, and I think I exhausted the overseas part so haven't regretted marrying him. We work hard, so vacation needs to be more relaxing for him and by extension me, and my kids like that also. Flying is just not relaxing for my super tall family, but I will encourage my kids to study abroad in college. We'll see.[/quote]
