Why Travel With Kids Even If They Won’t Even Remember It?

By experiences not stuff

 

 

People always used to ask us, when our gingers Rainer & Atticus were tiny tots, “Why travel with your kids if they won’t even remember it?”

 We have always believed that even when the RAM of our brain cannot recall our nascent

experiences on planet Earth, our HARD DRIVE does. And so our kids simply never had a choice when it came to travel. By the time they were 4 and 6, respectively, they had already been to Spain, Mexico and a dozen states across the USA.

 

As Americans, one of the only things my wife and I feel unabashedly patriotic about is our National Park System (we have been to more than 200 of the 400+ units spread across

the nation). Before our boys were old enough to remember, they had stood at the base of the Lincoln Memorial, climbed Bubble Rock in Acadia, splashed in waves at

Fire Island National Seashore, and hiked through Joshua Tree National Park.

Today, when we ask Atticus, now 11, and Rainer, 13, if they recall some of those early trips and destinations, they often do not. Their brains remember, though, as neuro-pathways are etched by early experiences to form the people we become as fully conscious children and adults. Despite not recalling our early adventures, both boys became fully accustomed to travel and all that goes with it.

So many parents have complained to us that, by the time THEY are ready to travel with their children (because now they will “remember it” and the money won’t be

“wasted”) their KIDS aren’t ready for travel. They whine in the car, on the plane, and absolutely do not appreciate the process of being pushed out of their comfort zone. We say: all the more reason not to wait.

Analogy time: We read board books to both of our boys from the moment they could open their eyes. Could they read along? Do they remember those books? No. Did reading to and with them every day carve pathways of

literacy and connection into their brains? Yes. Is it a coincidence both boys were reading independently by the time they were three? We don’t think so.

 

These days, when we tell our boys we are going to Egypt in a few months, they raise their hands in triumph, then go on with whatever it was they were doing. When

our departure date rolls around, they know how to pack, what to bring, what to expect, how to manage wait times and unforeseen obstacles, and how to appreciate the small things and unique moments experienced along the way.

 

All that time we put in, traveling with them as infants and toddlers, pays off every time we step

out the door with these tall redheads who now have questions and interests of their own. The more they communicate about their travel likes and dislikes, too, the more we tailor our adventures to their needs.

 

Our advice? DO NOT WAIT!!! Take that trip whether your children will retain conscious memories or not. Travel whether you think the money will be “worth it” or not. We promise: it will be. You will all reap the rewards, both in the moment and far beyond.

    Securing my financial future was a major priority after my recent divorce, so I delved into various investment options. A friend suggested Bitcoin mining and binary trading, and with ample time on my hands, I decided to give them a try. I was fortunate enough to accumulate a significant amount of Bitcoin, which, at its peak, was worth $1,200,000. I stored the decryption key for my Bitcoin wallet securely on my computer, feeling a sense of achievement and relief. As life went on, I became increasingly busy, and the once-urgent task of remembering the decryption key slipped my mind. Years passed, and the memory of my Bitcoin fortune faded into the background. It wasn’t until recently, when I stumbled upon my old wallet and saw the impressive balance, that the gravity of the situation hit me. I was thrilled to see my Bitcoin had appreciated significantly, but my excitement quickly turned to frustration when I realized I couldn’t recall the decryption key. Desperation led me to explore every possible avenue for recovery. I scoured my old files, searched through every backup I could find, and even reached out to friends and acquaintances who might offer advice. However, despite my best efforts, the key remained elusive. With time running out and the risk of losing my assets forever, I turned to the internet for help. I found various freelancers and hackers claiming to specialize in Bitcoin recovery, but my attempts to seek their assistance ended in disappointment and scams. These fraudulent services only added to my frustration and anxiety. Feeling defeated and running out of options, I came across F r a n c i s c o    H a c k. This team of professionals, with a track record of successful Bitcoin recoveries, seemed to offer a glimmer of hope. I contacted F r a n c i s c o    H a c k and was introduced to their specialized recovery tool. The tool was designed to scan my computer and mobile devices for any remnants of the decryption key. The process was thorough and took several hours, but I remained hopeful. To my immense relief, the tool successfully identified a list of potential keys. With renewed hope, I painstakingly tested each key from the list. After a tense period of trial and error, I finally found the one that worked. My heart raced as I regained access to my Bitcoin wallet. The sense of triumph and relief was overwhelming; I had reclaimed my financial assets thanks to the expertise and persistence of F r a n c i s c o    H a c k. This experience taught me the importance of securing critical information and the potential risks of relying on unverified sources for recovery. Thanks to the professional help I received, I was able to recover a substantial financial asset and ensure a more secure future.
