My brother and I had traveled a great deal between the ages of 12 -36 years of age, due to our parents. We kind of burned out on it.
My parents never went anywhere till I was about 12, and I shamed them into to taking a long road trip. They got the bug, and from then on till I was in college we went every summer and saw a new part of the country. Once I (their youngest child) was in college they took trips in the fall when it was much less crowded at places they wanted to see. I went to Europe by myself when I graduated, then didn't travel because I was busy with grad school. Once I was well settled I started taking road trips by myself. I did it for about a decade, then the nuisances of travel caught up with me in my mid 40's and I really haven't enjoyed traveling since.
I kind of liked rap in its very infancy back in the 90's. I called it "bad poetry to a good beat." But the music behind it got worse and the poetry never got better. So I tired of it quickly.
