This is why I will never have my licence. I think it's more of how you are raised.

As a kid I spent Friday-Sunday night on the road with my dad on some adventure unless he was depressed and in his room from lack of money. I always went on his business trips even if I had school or out all night at taco-bell hanging out with my dad. I have the nick-name "dad's little boy" If it wasn't with him on an adventure I was at my grandparents camp. On vacations we'd leave as a family from the moment we got off the bus to the morning school started. As teens we spent week-end traveling with our friends or "spending the weekend's at friend houses" or waking up our siblings to go out.

As an adult I live states away and still call my siblings and parents any time to talk or sneak off for road trips with my siblings. We've live in several area's in several states the last 12 years. I'd live traveling but cash is an issue. Anyway even if I'm depressed I get stir crazy within days.
