having worked in the study abroad field, i'd say that it is numbers. and having seen firsthand how (and on what) men and women spend their money overseas, i think the frugal thing needs to be chucked out the window.

we take our daughter everywhere - it is more fun to travel with her than before we had her! i feel sorry for people that think that life (and travel) ends when you have kids.

great topic for conversation!

I so agree with you about seeing children not as an obstacle, but an asset! We took our (then) 5 year old to a string of Eastern European countries when they were still under Communism. We lived then in Holland - that may have made it easier in some ways.
