I've got to say Im in the same boat though. I envy you being able to travel while your kids are young (stress or not). We could never afford it back then beginning very young and with only one income and a Deaf kid with ADHD to cope with (stress an understatement!)I probably wouldnt have wanted to try it anyway. Now at the other end of being a family all under the same roof I feel like I'm running out of time! I hope they will want to keep traveling with us even if it means -like B did this time - flying to whereever we are first.Tanyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13388362742170805414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7955237421825935492.post-83409796321064056182010-01-30T02:58:13.298-08:002010-01-30T02:58:13.298-08:00Oh boy I envy you. Such a different experience wh...Oh boy I envy you. Such a different experience when you are travelling with a youngest who is a teenager and us who's youngest is 6 and our oldest is 11. We found the train system VERY STRESSFUL - and that is after travelling through France, Germany, Switzerland and Austria two years ago and finding it fantastic (with a 4 year old). When we got to the end of the english version to book at machine - it turned to Italian for the warnings (which we found out meant - sold out, move the time - but not until we had waited an hour in a queue. Anyway - I am enjoying reading your experiences and find it bizare that we were at the same place at the same time.Jakarta Rockshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01122426618548032862noreply@blogger.com
