My husband and I have travelled alot with our two sons, domestically and Internationally. When the boys were much younger, it was important to keep some regular routines, and our accommodation was always "home". That same notion has helped settle us, each time we've moved to live in a new place. As we experienced the sounds, sights, smells and tastes of each place, the routines changed incrementally and encouraged new ones. Nowadays, one of us will say, "I've just had a flashback to (a destination)", because what we're sensing brings back a memory. That then encourages a conversation about the places we've been and the things we did. The memories unite us. Travelling together has enriched our lives in so many wonderful ways and I am so grateful for those opportunities.
Thank you for sharing this! Memories are ways to relive the past moments. I'm so curious of your travels as a family. Was it more life on the road long term? Or shorter sprints of travel? When I travel long term I miss the routine of home. But when I'm home I miss the travel so much!
Thanks Maria. We travelled Internationally for as little as 3 weeks, up to 3 months, though we've done long road trips domestically (9 months or so). We figured that we'd make the most of the long flight & the cost and experience as much as we could on each trip.
