Nail, head...
I too have always had a wunderlust, which is how I ended up here

, which is how I ended up with wife, house kids etc etc

.
the wife & kids scenario isnt the end of travelling... it's part of the voyage, it simply means that the pace of the voyage or the overall timescale has slowed down. It may have appeared to have slowed to geolocical proportions

but you have to re adjust to that.
I have spent the last few years almost not using the bike due to kids & stuff, now the eldest is big enough to ride pillion it's starting again, the mrs has lost interest in biking but N°1 daughter is starting, so I will adapt, shorter trips to start with, stuff that will interest a 10yr old, communication system, etc etc...
None of this has stopped me from planning the big trip though, & whenever work or family ties start getting me down, I dig the plans out & go over it again, or plan some more , or plan another trip...
It will happen, but as life throws sh!t at you you have to dodge & weave, the weaving makes the road longer, that's all.
Bonne courage
