Are You Prepared to Travel? ANDREA STUNZ
With a move to Brazil in 1975, I began traveling internationally at the age of seven and traveled domestically even before then. While I don't remember much from the pre-Brazil trips, there are pictures to prove we went to Disneyland when I was about four and enjoyed many camping experiences. My parents were great about providing adventures for us even when the budget couldn't take us far. I recently asked my mom why I never saw the movie, 'Chitty Chitty Bang Bang,' as a child, and she quickly replied, "Because we didn't have the money to go to the movies." After giving it some thought, I concluded that we did have the money, but they scrutinized and prioritized every dime for our family of six. Saving for a real-life adventure was going to win out over watching someone else's adventure on a screen every day of the week.
