Have the people that have traveled with kids ever traveled without them?
I would never take a one to four year old hiking to the river at the Grand Canyon for instance. There are some trips that are just too hard and not suitable for kids. There were families with kids in the hostels outside of Sydney, but not in Kings Cross, and I'm sure they didn't stay up until 2am. It would be a different trip, not that it would be bad. Just a lot more work to look after them. There is also the cost aspect as well. All of a sudden, you are spending money that could be used for their college fund.
Oh yeah, and they need a passport to get into the USA. I talked to the wife of a Canadian Parliament member who had a 2 month old terrorist baby that immigration wouldn't let into the country.
When kids are 8 to 16, travel can return to what it used to be though. But you may be too old to do a few things that are set up for people in their 20's-30's.
