[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are Indian-Americans and most of our annual trips were to India to see the grandparents.  My kids have gone to India, Nepal, Bhutan, Sri Lanka and around 8 Indian states (road trips) and several big cities on our annual trips to India.  We have also visited England, France, Canada, Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Thailand, Vietnam, Turkey, Switzerland, Italy,  Chile, Peru, Iceland.  Some of these were by breaking our trip to India and staying from a couple days to up to a week in some of these countries.

We have done several long road trips and seen many national parks in the US. These were due to going to out of state for competitions,  camps, internships, college visits etc. DH is pretty good about wanting to travel.  My kids on the other hand hate traveling. They don't mind visiting tourist sites, but they hate the travel.  The planes, the airports, the road trips.  They like fancy food in fancy restaurants and they like luxury hotels, but getting to and fro the destination bugs them   and most of the times the historical sites or tourist destinations do not move them, the same way they move me.

We have never gone on a cruise because my kids hate the idea. They do not like the beach or the ocean.   They hate shopping too.  We went to Disney world  and universal studios a few times but my kids are not big fans and never wanted to return to it.

We are looking forward to travelling without the children now that they are in college.  Taking them with us was for me a royal pain in the butt. My DH on the other hand wanted them with us all the time.  I think they will like going with their friends rather than going with us parents.

Curious, what is your Hhi? These are some fancy trips[/quote]

400K now.  Obviously less than that over the years when we were raising them.  We live fairly frugally  in terms of housing, cars, schooling (public) etc.  The trips were usually add-ons to existing trips. Maximized airline miles etc. [/quote]
