    True- when we lived in England we had a neighbor who was planning his first trip to the US and said he wanted to drive across America. He asked us if we thought it would take longer than a day....
    HA! Exactly my point.

    I guess a follow up question here would be "How many Americans have barely traveled in their own country.
    I have, but I know so many people that have never been west of Pennsylvania, north of Boston, or south of DC. They have gone to Europe a zillion times, but not to their own land.

    I've been to all of the states except, Rhode Island, Vermont, New Hampshire and Maine.

    There are so many places I want to see but it's incredibly expensive.

    It's not nearly as expensive as people think it is :)

    If your income just pays your bills, yes, it is. I have a sister in another state that I rarely see and she is only 8.5 hours away.

    My income barely pays my bills (it's a little better now, but last year I was living on an average of $600/month). I prioritize travel over other forms of entertainment, but it's mostly because it's an addiction.

    Ahhhh well where I live, $600 won't even cover rent, not to mention gas, phone, electric, car insurance (and upkeep, tags & inspection), gasoline, groceries ect...you must be lucky

    Not nearly as much as I would like. Maybe it will be more once we boot the kids out the door.

    Many times...but you don't need to leave the US to feel like you've traveled to a new culture. The US is so diverse; there is so much to experience that is different from wherever you're from. Go see it.

    THIS!!!!!! Hubby and I LOVE the US, for several years we have been coming over twice per year and have visited some lovely places, we love theme parks so tend to work out trips around those, flying onto Boston and driving to Chicago and back was fun, so was driving around Florida, Orlando to Virginia was a good trip to, Vegas to West Hollywood then to San Francisco and back was magnificent, this May it is Texas, Houston, up to Dallas and unsure where else ANY IDEAS people ? then In November back to Florida for some more sightseeing... you have a lovely country :heart: :love:
