[quote=Anonymous]I'm 32 and have never been to a country you couldn't access by cruise ship, so I am sure many would consider that untraveled.  DH and I would love to travel more.  The reality is, we both grew up working class where vacations were usually long weekend car trips.  In college, I opted to spend a semester interning rather than travelling abroad because I knew I needed more work experience to help me when I was done with school.  Shortly after college we got engaged, were struggling to pay off student loans on entry level salaries while saving for a modest wedding since parents couldn't help.  Our families aren't close by so those years with 10 vacation days a year meant most of our vacation was spent visiting relatives or maybe taking a quick, inexpensive cruise.  Then it was saving for a house, and now it's juggling kids, mortgage, daycare, limited vacation time, and family still far away.  As much as I would like to see Europe, I wouldn't want to take away Christmas or our summer visit to Grandma because our kids are too young to appreciate real travel anyhow.  FWIW, I traveled all over the U.S. for work.  I've been to almost every state, and feel like there is a lot of value in domestic travel.[/quote]
