[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m more curious about how much time people have vs the cost.  Between parents’ work and kids’ activities and school; how is everyone traveling every freaking break? My high schoolers don’t want to jet set somewhere for a 4 day weekend, they want to catch their breath with school work. 6 weeks off in the summer and you work in the U.S? How? No, like really. Tell me your secrets. [/quote]

I'm one of the points travelers from upthread. The answer is a combination of having liberal leave policies at work, and having children who are preferably in elementary school and maybe middle.  Once your kids are in high school, you are limited to winter and summer break for longer trips, and MAYBE thanksgiving for a short break.

My kids are 7, 10 and 14.  I've been traveling mostly with the older two for a few years, but now that the oldest entered high school, I know the config will change. He will have commitments during spring break and will want to use T'giving break to recharge.  So, I won't be planning for his travel outside of winter and summer breaks.  I will switch to traveling with the younger set of kids at other times. [/quote]
