Translation of Seeufer

Luckily it didn't happen to me, my kids really grew up with us all the time. And besides, they are not allowed do that, because they are monitored endlessly. If they don't attend class they could find themselves on the next train going home.
I usually do not travel, and if I do, then only to England, when I visit my parents who live in a suburb of London. I can not afford to travel too much, because it is a very large expense.
Why do I never travel? This is a very good question, but I do not know how to answer it: On one hand, I like the landscape, but on the other hand it annoys me to pack and to drive or fly.
