[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Omg - these trips all sound like nightmares for your kids.  Can they stay home?[/quote]

I agree. The trip of a lifetime with kids is going to be Disney, OP. That’s what they’d love, the trips you’ve suggested are adult trips.[/quote]

Disagree. NZ/Australia would be amazing if they can have 3-4 weeks to do it and have it planned out really well[/quote]

How can you say trip of a lifetime? The kids are young. They might marry an Australian or go there for work or like to vacation there regularly.

I'm from down under and my kids have been to NZ/Australia many many times because that's my home.

They've only been to South Dakota once though (so far).[/quote]

And they could marry a penguin and go to Antarctica regularly. What’s your point?

You must be a lawyer, to make such an idiotic argument. [/quote]

My point is that it's silly to say something is once in a lifetime for 7 and 9 year old, and to tell them this will be their best trip ever. Why bother traveling ever again if Mom and Dad took you on the best trip ever when you were 7.

Who knows where life will take these kids. Some of the bucket list things people write here are routine travel for other people.

Maybe a trip of a lifetime for them will be a journey to the moon by 2065 or even a trip with their grandchildren to Kansas.

Again, are you a lawyer? WTF is wrong with you that you need to litigate a simple phrase? OP clearly meant she wanted a big-budget bucket-list type of trip. This does not mean they are *never allowed* to visit that place again or to go on a bigger/better trip in the future.[/quote]

Not a lawyer. Just someone who took their kids to a number of countries many of you have on your bucket lists and have suggested here. My kids don't remember many of these trips.

They do remember taking an ATV ride over some buttes in South Dakota, and the day they were let loose in Paris alone because their parents were stuck in the hotel room sick.[/quote]
