I like to travel – domestic, international – I don’t care.

A lot of Americans really didn't start traveling until after WWII. Simply couldn't afford it, and no interstate system. Even until the seventies many ordinary Americans didn't travel much outside the U.S.

After noticing more people, including my parents, take trips to Las Vegas in the seventies, I concluded that incomes were rising. When people can afford to lose money in Las Vegas, they're not doing too bad.

I noticed Roy Orbison's empty chair salute.

Oh, Pretty Woman

Used to like to travel some when daughter was younger - adventure, magic, mystery etc - road trips to theme parks, staying in motels, up and down the east coast on I-95 - one morning sitting in a Holiday Inn outside of Harrisburg Pa waiting for breakfast I was watching the people come and go, and it struck me - these folks are pretty much like me and all the people I knew around home - much the same likes, dislikes, worries, problems, and on and on - not really so magical and adventurous at all - since then I’ve been fairly content just to stay home and enjoy what I have and know......

Europe by train. South American by luxury bus.

That keeps me busy when I go.
