BEGINNING OF TRANSCRIPT JM Does anyone have experience travelling with spouse, kids or significant others? Participant 1 I run a small business. I've always brought my children to work with me (they always come to conferences). Really, for the last several years they haven't come to conferences because they're at this inbetween age (they're 8 and 11 now) and I don't think we can get away with a romantic trip to Hawaii, but we brought them here because we thought it was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and it's once every five years, so that's why I have brought my kids with me.
