Great trip report
spanishflea! ^
Being a university student myself (entering my second year in a few months) I am just amazed with the amount of travel you are fortunate to be able to do. Mostly because I don’t have enough money (or miles) to be flying around the world, and even last year was tough with car repairs eating up my travel budget. I do keep my passport handy should a good international fare pop though. Just haven’t seen any ex-Orlando yet.
I will say that parents are always interesting when telling them about upcoming trips. So far mine have been fairly cool about it, but then I am expected to pay for it myself, just as it sounds you as well. Now, if I could muster enough $$$ to start making transatlantic trips regularly I bet my parents would become somewhat like what you have described yours at times. Until then though I don’t see it becoming a problem....unless that is I go broke from traveling too much!
