[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't really get it either.

We actually love vacations and travel, but we take our kids. Almost always. We want them to have the same experiences that we do, and childhood is so short.

Ours are in their late teens.

We have also taken them to resorts that have programs for children. That's a great compromise. We took them to Hawaii a few times and they loved it.
They have these at other price points to. I think it's a good compromise.

They are in their late teens now. We did go abroad without them - now I wish we took them.
My husband and I will have 30 or 40 years to travel alone.

Parenthood - the really together and close part where kids are always excited about any travel plans that you make lasts about 15 years.

That said, I don't think that a child will be scarred for life if you take one vacation when they are eight or nine.

We never really wanted to leave them with anyone. Aunts uncles and grandparents are not primary care givers. They are people we see on holidays once in a while.
That's it.[/quote]

How are you going to have 30 years? How old are your kids and you? I'm watching my parents and inlaws and as they come close to 65 and over the health declines (even for active people) and they become more homedody and just can't do the fun hiking and active vacations anymore. [/quote]
