[@joshuaburba1048]

The only thing missing from the 40 year old is spending the entire "vacation" thinking about all the things you need to do as soon as you get home, then making a list of all those things, then continuously editing your list.

I remember saying in my 20s, I’ll always stay in hostels, they’re so cheap and fun! I’m now in my mid-30s and the thought of sleeping in a dorm room with a bunch of strangers while sharing a bathroom sounds horrendous haha.

That's one of the parts I'd still be willing to try but hubby vetos.

[@Anhenmelomania]

It is still ok, if you just make it at 11pm with 35k steps on your watch and left the next morning)

[@galamander_1327]

Hostels used to be clean, and really cheap, like 1/12th the price of a midrange hotel room per person, even during busy season in an expensive city like Stockholm or Brussels. You could get a room with only 3 beds. Now it's half the price of a midrange hotel room PER PERSON. And you have 9 beds to a room. Some people stumbling in late drunk, someone else up at 430 making noise, everyone snoring, stinking, or just taking all the oxygen. No thanks. I don't know what happened. I wonder if investors bought up all the hostels and now run them to squeeze out maximum profit?

[@piiinkDeluxe]

S A M E. I actually slept one night in a hostel recently, just to see how it feels. The stay confirmed that i outgrew it. 😄

[@TikiHi77]

​​@@wartgin My husband actually picks the hostel but with a private room. I don't mind sharing a bathroom or common area. When we go on vacation we are really only in our room to sleep. I'm 45, he's 50. Private room is the way to go in the hostel.

[@JulieStones]

20 something: I can work all day, drive all night to the vacation destination, sleep 4 hours, and be ready for vaca! 40 something: I need 2 days of travel time to there and a day there to recover from travel before I am ready for vacation.

My mother is in her 70s as well. After becoming a mother myself, seeing how much effort it takes wrangling little people together to do ANYTHING while being reasonably frugal, I realize she wasn't crazy. I told as much, and she's having a good laugh.

[@vanessasetford-smith8074]

My husband is laughing uncontrollably. This is so me, especially the cleaning at the end of the stay. Tip for taking your pillows: put them in those bags that suck down to wafer thin (also works for the duvet I take 🙂). I’m just in the middle of putting food in Tupperware to take with us on holiday tomorrow. 😂

[@KieroSi]

@@rebeccafoster-faith688updated aging; pregnancy pillows are great for teenagers and getting older alike. Traveling with them, the biggest headache is getting them in and out of the covers.. which makes packing them easier. Though shipping some of your stuff ahead of time can sometimes save you money and headache despite risks (loss, delays, etc). toilet seat risers - a bit more awkward to travel with but then you don't face the threat of having a toilet that's too low. More of a concern for tall people or those with joint, back and/or mobility problems. Same with a shower stool and bidet mods, etc. (also, fuctional for (camping) glamping. just add off grid power source and back up supply, though there are portable (squeeze bottle) bidets and the seat riser works just as well with a hole over the ground.. albeit, gotta diy an outhouse for additional comforts.) Food. Foodie tours can sometimes save you $ but they don't tend to be kid friendly. But you're bound to find some affordable markets/restaurants/vendors (maybe even a few nearby small farms) on your own, so spices, condiments and an electric wok (or whatever) can also help lessen the burdens. Freeganism options are everywhere too. Air travel snacks with rugrats in tow - pockets, pockets, pockets. You're old, you don't need to be fashionable for just the airport. Tho, there are a few compact snacks. It's an acquired taste but if you can turn your kids onto seaweed snacks.. some are paper thin, easily compressed, lightweight (albeit, you can DIY just about anything for your travel/tsa needs). Or give them a spice jar and building up those future drinking skills, of salt, lick, drink, repeat. . . to ward off hunger between destinations. now if I was turning into my mum, all I would need is noise cancellation headphones, a cooling eye mask, a seat cushion with back support and neck pillow, some medicated gummies and full body throw. tablet (and thumb drive with preloaded movies, music, books, if can't get decent wifi), puzzle books and a martini, if awakened.
