[quote=Anonymous]I'm not there yet, but I can foresee a time I could be, which 10 or 20 years ago was unthinkable. I think what happens is when you're younger the cost is only money and vacation time, which were plentiful enough at the time.

Now the cost is more money because it's the whole family, two people's vacation time which feels way more limited with a family even if you technically have more, routines, events or relationships at home like helping elderly parents, not sleeping as well, headaches or other physical issues.

Plus watching my parents, I'm aware that time is running out, not just for travel but for any other goals or dreams you have. Everything you do has a cost of something else you may never get to do. That may have felt especially not worth it for a country you've been to before.

I'm not over travel but my list of must sees is smaller than it used to be because of running it through the filter of the whole list of things I actually value.

I also have a different view of safety and did some more adventurous (aka risky) things on long ago trips that I'd never do now.[/quote]
