We are planning a trip abroad, and our kids are just 6 and 9 and we are thinking of leaving them back with my parents thinking that they are too small to remember this trip anyway. We are thinking on the financial front as well, as the trip would cost us a bomb, and we would like to take our kids when they grow up little more and can have memories. Is it fine to leave them back or we are getting selfish?

I've taken the kids on holidays at all ages. The ones they've remembered well start around 4 onwards and they are always good bonding experiences. That said, you shouldn't feel bad about taking time out alone with your husband.
