Traffic!

see my pahabol statement above.

i mean,
i can go on vacation anytime.
but my spouse has her concerns and responsibilities at her work, as do my children in their activities.
our vacation schedule will be dictated by their concerns.
thus, even if three people can go on vacation any time, the fourth, whose life choices are more limited, will dictate the conduct of the vacation.

That is the reason why I travelled with my family whenever their is an opportunity when the kids were still young. They have less own/personal priorities then.
Now its difficult to gather them around. Parating may absent.
