So glad all of you spoke up that had wonderful experiences traveling as children!! You would not believe how opposed some friends of mine are to the concept of travel with children. It is good to hear that you have benefited from your experiences abroad. My husband and I enjoy traveling a lot, but our method of traveling will change by necessity when we have children. Typically our travel involves backpacks, greuling hikes, little food, and more than a little time in adverse weather without a roof. So, yes... little hikes with little kids would be nice, and maybe even a week-long backpacking trip would be great, but a month of sleeping on streets and trails might not be the best for a child's health.
Little_tippler, what a great list!
