Growing up I never really went anywhere. Every time my mom and I went on vacation we went to California. California. California. There is nothing wrong with the Golden State, but I really missed out on a good 20 years of traveling to new and exciting places on my parents' dime. Gotta love her, but now firmly grounded in her 60s, my mom has only been to a chunk of states and Canada (possibly Mexico?). What I find more troubling about this is it doesn't seem to upset her in the slightest.
I'm guessing our parents come from a simpler time when plane travel was less prevalent and necessary. My mom, like her sister and her mother before her, just doesn't see the need to circumnavigate the globe. Sometimes we are the way we are because of our parents and sometimes in spite of them. I want to go to every part of the world because my mom didn't, not because she did.
Anyway, I bring all this up because I recently discovered Round the World Plane tickets. For those people who knew about them long ago than my apologies for how overly excited this discovery made me. One plane ticket with so many possibilities. I could spend hours on staralliance.com or oneworld.com just planning out a traveling adventure. I feel like the tickets are so cheap for how many places you can go!
Take a look at the itinerary I made: Seattle - Edinburgh - London - Barcelona - Zurich - Rome - Goa - Bangkok - Tokyo

That would be awesome. Ricky and I talk all the time (actually talked about it last night too!) about where we want to go before we venture into the realm of children! I love to travel. I think you should do your 'round the world trip!
I was really glad I did a semester abroad. Even though I was on a ghetto poor budget, I got to live in Paris for 3 months and see everything there. And then I did weekend trips to Rome (best place EVER) and London. I'm all about the civilized, non-scary countries (which crosses most of Asia, Africa, and Eastern Europe off the list). Except Egypt, which is currently number 1 on my list.
Having a goal of traveling around the world by a certain age is a great idea! Time flies so fast I hardly know where the years have gone. Oh - and we'll babysit for you while you're on your trip! : )
