Don't waste foreign or long travel on a young child.  [b]I say confidently, nothing much they will see before age 8 will be remembered[/b], and if they do, it will be inconsequential stuff. [/quote]

I remember traveling to see my grandparents in Fort Lauderdale when I was 3 to 8, and going to see them was a lot of fun for me.

I remember flying before there were no-smoking sections. It was entertaining seeing the strange no-smoking lights come on.

We started off having to climb up stairs to get into the plane.

That stuff was inconsequential when I saw it, but now, when I look back, that was part of a strange and different world. I’m glad I remember a little of it.

I think before age 6 is more accurate, based on knowledge of brain development and experience. My son remembers going whale watching at age 7.

But it’s not only about the memories. My son travelled at least once a year starting as a baby and he’s very comfortable with new environments, he’s very social, and he became interested in learning languages and can speak 3, and is on his way to learning another.
