My brother and his family are heading out for another trip overseas and to Africa again. The amount of travelling he does in a month is more than I do in a year, most of it for work but still, he's been to China, Japan, Europe and more dozens of times. And for NYE this year, we're going to family hostel out on the coast in Monterey County somewhere, I think. I did spend a year abroad but that was a long time ago and I get the itch to move very strongly every so often. But its darned near impossible with a full family. I hear you and am in the same boat.
