And the two aren't mutually exclusive. It may mean shorter trips, but kids can be great travellers - and travel can provide a great learning experience. Even before they "remember" places, they create sensory memories - so after you've been to a desert with your two-year-old, they'll remember the feeling of sand and dry and heat when you read them a book about deserts, even if they don't remember the trip itself. You have to adapt the *style* of travel (probably stuck with 4 wheels for the foreseeable future), but not abandon travel itself.
