> We now have a little one coming along and I can't wait to adventure as a family.

Just a note: Forget about it. When child is there, wife loses all interest in such activities. Been there, done that. I can aford holidays everywhere on earth ( ok maybe not Antarctis :) ), but no, missus stays home and asks that I just stay home ( we actually bought one ) with her and the kids. No holidays, just short trips outside city.



This is not always true. Both my mother and father enjoyed taking the kids on adventures


Of course, traveling becomes harder when you have a baby, that shouldn't come as a suprise to anybody. But I don't like the sexist tone in your post.

Also, what makes you think that your situation generalizes to the OP?


Luckily for everyone involved, he married his own wife, not yours.


A trip to Antarctica is cheaper than you might have thought.


It’s free if you get a job on a base there!


I am interested!


I do not get the downvotes, there is no sexism involved. Woman change after having a baby, which is totally normal that they become totally risk adverse and very protective. This, a holiday to Machu Pitchu is deemed to many unknowns towards the baby vs. a short trip to a nearby totally quiet forest.


The sexism is that you think not taking a baby up machu pichu is a genetic trait of women rather than a sign of intelligence
