Jen,
I wonder how traveling with children changes your perceptions of traveling - have your traveling goals changed?

Nothing, I have trouble trying to remember things. If it weren't for other people, my notes, and pictures I'd have seriously lost most of my life to a poor memory by now.

Ah, I try to capture a lot of life; my pockets are littered with notes on pieces of paper, any electric device I have with snippets of thoughts, of ideas, of memories, of fleeting observations. And luckily, like you, I often have people that remember the important shared experiences :)

Hearing - most people just don't listen to all of the sounds around them, just the really loud ones.

Or sometimes we listen to too much exterior noise and forget to listen to ourselves: http://www.travelblissful.com/2009/03/26/music-...

Hmmm, I think you can lean a lot about a person by observing them. I don't know if I have a canned response, my question would depend on the time, situation, and person.

I struggled with a single, all-encompassing answer myself; how about an example of a time, situation and person and what you would ask? Perhaps you could answer this general question with a more specific example, and a picture... or a drawing :)

People anthropomorphise technology, much like they do the rest of the world. In the end these are inanimate objects, 0s and 1s, and they are only as good or as bad as they are used. We love and hate how they are used, not necessarily the technologies themselves.

Solid point; we misplace our love and hate, we blame technology and not ourselves, we detach causes and effects; a human condition that has survived all technological cycles :)

As I age, the more I let life come to me and let things unfold. I used to try and force the world with my will and now I enjoy the ride. I don't think the changes in goals are as important as the philosophies driving them. So long as my mind is sound I'm comfortable with my direction. Besides, I can always change it if I like.

I often wish I had adopted (learned) that philosophy earlier in life; but perhaps you have to go through the struggles first to really savor the peace.

Even during a 'routine day' India is an adventure. Outside of the US, there is a different appreciation for life. It's addictive and satisfying...

I'm always fascinated by the election bumper stickers, which seem to stay on cars forever. My personal opinion is that people need to be especially hard and unforgiving on their elected officials - make them *earn* respect, and ultimately votes.
The modern world makes it too easy to to do things which make people feel like they are making a difference. Bumper stickers, Facebook groups, etc. Real change happens in the streets, courts, and public institutions.
But those things require more than pasting a sticker or clicking a mouse.

I've always found the "temporary event" v. "permanent display" to be the most interesting aspect to bumper stickers.
What would happen if marketers saw a bumper sticker as a declaration of intent? As a sign of a willingness to support a cause and not just a specific event? Why don't we apply bumper stickers on top of other bumper stickers as the causes expand, change, grow?
Tactically, why don't we apply "Change" stickers on top of "Obama 08" bumper stickers? Why aren't we updated our bumper stickers, t-shirts or web marketing materials to reflect the continued interest, support and passion in government?

Great list - I'd emphasize 2 points:
1. Be flexible - things change and schedules are not set!
and 2. If you have to think if you need it, you probably don't. We *all* over pack and need to accept shedding things from our backpacks.

Flexible: something the biggest changes come from within: changing minds, new opportunities, new information good and bad.
Even I *always* over-pack :)

An oddity of life... no worries, I'll be back in DC this year...
My travel goals have changed a bit since having a child, but not very drastically. For example, my dream Africa trip is in the back burner right now because of issues with malaria risk & children in many parts of Africa. While it hasn't changed my goals of going to the Continent with my daughter, the timing has. I just have to be extra patient now :)
