Yeah, I meant that in the traveling sense only. Clearly there's going to have to be a pretty big adjustment on our part as well. There's no way I'm raising some "best-friend" type of child. After seeing all the snotty little unruly kids out there, I'm kind of looking forward to the challenge of raising a good person.
Having said that, kids seem to adapt pretty well, so I'm not sure you have to make the whole world a giant bubble for them. I remember when my family went through a lot of turmoil when I was kid, and us kids took it all in stride and still had a great time. I actually kind of look back at a lot of those times pretty fondly.
