I did travel a lot as a kid, though it was almost always nearby travel. I flew once as a kid, when we went to Disney World when I was 13. That was a BIG deal. The rest of the time, it was car trips: Lancaster, Catskills, D.C., Baltimore, Jersey Shore, NYC, etc. Rarely more than 3 hours from home.

DW, however, traveled very little. Her father had a retail store and worked 6 days/week. She didn't start traveling until she got together with me, and hasn't stopped since. She's now been to Disney World 18 times, taken 3 cruises and traveled to many other places with me. She loves it and is very glad that we've been able to expose our daughter to all those things.

So I don't know that what your husband feels is the norm. I feel sorry that my wife didn't get to travel when she was young because I had so many great experiences and she had none. So I'd never be jealous of someone who didn't travel.
