We don't leave our kids behind for a vacation over Shabbos. Let alone I don't enjoy spending Shabbos at strange places.
This definitely limits my ability to see Austraila, Africa...


... so bring them. Missing out on those two continents are a huge miss.

What percentage of your travel is with your wife vs without?

Way more important things to discuss. This is one of those things that should not be a dealbreaker

Really? I guess we have our differences of whats important in life

No one said it was a deal breaker. I mentioned on a date and she agreed and I've held her to it

Same here, and i think a lot of women have the same opinion. It's not so much the traveling, its leaving the family.

Both.

Off the top of my head, I've been away from my family for 1 Shabbos in
Singapore with @jj1000 in 2013
Japan with @AJK in 2015
Lofoten with @Something Fishy @whYME @moish @chaim’l in 2016
Maldives with a brother in 2017
looks like you are owed one for 2014

When I dated it was one of the first things I spoke about.

There are plenty of girls running around that have never heard of DDF but know in intimate detail how to get a BRG free night.
A girl once dumped me because she thought I was cheap after I said: "We can fly anywhere in the world in First class and stay at a five star hotel but we will probably take a bus to the airport". She just didn't get it.

Oh, I also canceled a date with a girl in order to go to a popup DO with Dan when he came to Israel. Never regretted that decision and.......I MET DAN!!!

How many of said girls do you know and why are they not on DDF?

Leaving the kids is definitely a big issue for both of us, logistically as well as not wanting to be away from them for too long. But mainly we both don't get to travel as much as I would like because of limited days off work.

Basically all the ones I dated who had nothing interesting to say and were instead treated to endless lectures from me on the topics of miles, points and BRGs.
