While I have had the opportunity to travel extensively within the US, I didn't have the opportunity to travel overseas until I worked a summer abroad in college. And my parents (who were well into their 50s by then) had never gone overseas until they came to visit me. They were very generous with their assistance in paying for my trip, which I am extremely grateful for.
I think money definitely plays a big factor. While you can sacrifice some comfort to extend your dollar, many people would rather choose not to. And that's okay, it's their prerogative. I absolutely want to be able to offer my children the opportunities my parents were able to offer me (and we were definitely not rich, either, while I was growing up) and expose them to different cultures and ways of thinking.
I've been to Mexico, Canada, England, Ireland and Scotland, as well as 45 states.
As far as places I'd like to go, I've always said I'd like to visit every continent, except maybe Antarctica. Because that's just too damn cold.
