View submission: Travel not for me anymore
I have to say I'm lucky to live where we have amazing things to do within an hour so it's convenient to adventure and not have to travel.. I'm not about the vibe in airports anymore. I more than ever want my accommodations made ahead of travel whereas before I would just kinda wing a lot of things and that was part of the fun. And yeah illness is everywhere and no one will mask or stay home so it's extra jerk vibes. I have also found that either I'm really wanting my kid to super get something out of the adventure and I'm sad if they don't seem to care, or it feels like I'm missing out on fun stuff doing the parenting part of having a kid on vacation. We do evolve as people as we age, and I think the juice needs to be worth the squeeze since we have less squeeze in us.

That’s just it isn’t it, mega airports are now mega malls, customs are just lines and lines, the threat of terrorism is real and so airport security lines are longer than ever, theft and scams are real so luggage especially with kids is difficult let alone transport and accommodation too. Not to mention the potential delay or cancellation of flights all around.
That mental load of the airport alone is enough to irk me haha I’ve had good moments and bad moments for sure.
I def feel that as a parent simple living really means travel is now different for sure.
