[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I studied abroad in college and really, really wished I hd taken 6-12 mos either before or after grade school to backpack through Europe.  Now I am old and have two kids and blah blah blah. My next chance is as an empty nester lol[/quote]

This is something I DON'T regret. When I was 24 a friend had a free flight voucher so her idea of going to Italy for a week turned into a month spent backpacking around Europe. I booked the flights without first asking for time off from work because I didn't care if they fired me. I also had little money at the time and went to into some debt for the trip, but I still never regretted it. One of the best experiences and sometime I think everyone should do while they are young.

My regret- not traveling more before having kids. We've traveled quite a bit with them, but it's not the same as carefree kid-free trips. Plus when you are younger and have lower standards so travel is much less expensive. [/quote]

Now that I’m a parent I badger any college interns in my office to do freewheeling overseas travel as soon as they can, while they can. I’m the Ancient Mariner of backpacking. [/quote]
