the three of us have just come back not long ago from a morocco-spain-portugal holiday catching public transport and hotel hopping all over the place.
Loss of freedom and all that jazz? .......Life's what you make of it.

That's what some friends of mine said also, but you know what that's right now that they are babies.
Once the babies become old enough to go to school, all that shit changes, especially if you pay a mint for tuition or your child is challenged with subjects that they have a hard time in.
Also, people tend to vacation and move within the confines of the school year. I know this because I don't. I vacation on the shoulder seasons when children tend to be in class and pay less for my lodging and airfare.
Here in the states people buy and sell homes in consideration of the school year. They move within areas so that they can stay within the school district or within reasonable distance to the school.
A very good friend of mine is currently driving almost 2 hours to work every day because he doesn't want to change the school his daughter is attending for HS. Once she's done he's got one more to contend with and he's trying to do as little as possible to disrupt his kids.
