No kids, no real input on the matter.

The vast majority of adult trippers I know started as kids, before their teen years.  Most of them took a break during high school, the more urban their home the more likely to take a break.

Split your limited time.  Spend some of it tripping & some of it with the family.

I wouldn't blame the times.  Folks have been doing that since kids could get themselves to town.  How ya gonna keep 'em down on the farm, After they've seen Paree?
