[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m not sure.  I’ve traveled internationally with my kids and it’s hell.  I’m starting to consider why we are so travel-focused anyway (families and individuals, societally).  I plan on sticking to local trips and those that can be done with 2-3 hours driving tops.

As of yet, I have not found the juice worth the squeeze, as lond/big with kids are hugely expensive and stressful (to me!).[/quote]

Maybe it depends on the kids and where you go. My youngest was incredibly rough to travel with until he was around 2 because he did not sleep well in new places, but we still did it and it paid off. After that age he became very easy to travel with. When they were 4 and 7 when we first went to Asia and we all had an incredible trip. They are 11 and 13 now and I love traveling with them. We have done lots of national parks and some of the big places the OP mentioned- Hawaii and Costa Rica. We have also done things like OBX and my kids loved that too, but I don't find it any more relaxing than the other trips we have taken as they all require planning and keeping kids somewhat entertained. We have not done Europe because I don't thinks big cities, historical sites and museums would be much fun with my kids, but they do great on active vacation that include beaches, surfing, national parks, hiking, skiing....

OP- how old are your kids?
