Both international and domestic, before kids. With the kids when younger, mostly our travel was US based with a lot to our parents and a couple of trips to Europe. For the Europe trips, we generally would rent a car.
Hotels: In Europe, we would stay at inexpensive hotels, pensions, and a couple of hostels. Bathroom down the hall in many places. We preferred to spend our money on more days traveling and sightseeing and less on fancy hotels, as long as the hotel was clean and safe.
Suitcases:
We would each (including kids) travel with a 21 inch roll a-board and a backpack, and Mary and Paul also had a fanny pack and cameras, all as carry on luggage.
Photos:
We like to take photos. Using film, we would try to limit our shots, as film and the subsequent processing was expensive. Still, we would keep lots of photos. Later, we tried to keep only 15 - 20 photos or so a day.
Planning:
We plan our trips ourselves, and do all the bookings. And we read up on the history and culture of the places we are going. We prefer to travel independently, or on private tours if doing that makes sense.
