If you have the chance, do it!
I'm looking forward to when my children will be big enough to live on their own. Then I want to make some real long trips.
I have five children. One is married now and the other four (ranging form 11 to 20) live at home and go to school etc. My wife and I work very hard to pay for schools and everything else they need so going on a realy long bike trip is not possible now, but every year I get on my bike for two, three or four weeks and leave on my own. (Unfortunately my wife is not very enthousiastic about long motorcycle trips and rather stays at home)
If I wouldn't take that few weeks trips I would get crazy. It helpes me to be able to cope with the long days work and the stress of four adolescents at home. I enjoy those trips so very much, a few weeks without worries. Riding my bike, enjoying the scenery, meeting interesting people and seing nice places. I can look back at some very nice trips and I'm looking forward to the next.
I'm giving my wife and children what they need and also I enjoy riding my bike to interesting places every year. That is not to bad isn't it.
What I want to say, make the best of your life within the possibilities you have.
