I have met many friends on this board - both vitually and in-person through the years. Therefore, I don't see tapping into this wonderful community as "cheating".
The farthest my nieces have ever travelled is to Disneyworld. To my knowledge, her parents have only been on an airplane three times in their lives - once to honeymoon in Hawaii and twice to take the girls down to Disney. It is likely that these girl's view of the world will be based on Epcot and Disney's Animal Kingdom until they are old enough and financially in a position to travel on their own or until they are old enough that their parents can trust us to take them away.
As someone who has always loved to travel, I would love to spark her interest and show her that there is a world beyond the borders of the US.
