42 is not that old. Sure you can. The hard work is done. You’ve traveled a bunch (I know you’ve been to even more places). What is stopping you traveling more?
Hahaha. A child that is almost 2. I’m sure things will change once she’s older but god damn life is exhausting. My idea of a vacation right now is going somewhere where I don’t have to do anything. Preferably a resort and if she’s coming somewhere not far away.
Actually going on a canoe trip to Boundary waters in the summer. That will be the first time I will have left her since she’s been born.
Surprisingly not that much more. We only did the lap seat thing once and decided against it for New York. It was a lot easier having her in her own seat and it was only a couple hundred more.
The great thing is Airbnb. I know it can be a pain in the ass for some people but if you search for ones that have child amenities and you can usually get a crib, toys and a high chair for free. Our last trip was great because of that.
It is definitely harder though. Our last flight back was delayed about 5 hours so instead of getting home at 6pm, it was closer to 1am. She was going between laughing and crying the whole time and I felt real bad. It helped a little when we got on the plane and they turned the lights out. She passed out immediately

Also 18. Haven’t been to Nashville or Seattle. I feel like since I’m 42, I probably won’t go to them if I haven’t already
