I did 5 years of 65-70% travel (internationally). Got old quickly, and started to get difficult on family life, especially with 2 young ones. This REALLY hit home when my wife said, "I worked really hard to get him (our firstborn) to take his first steps when you were at home".
Now, my job (different employer) has me travelling maybe 2-5% (domestically) of the time. Much better in so many ways... but now that the kids are a bit older I would consider travelling a bit more (maybe up to 25%) if the opportunity came up.
