I could spend all summer, every summer in Michigan’s upper Peninsula and do it at a fraction of the cost of globetrotting.
I heard that.
On Lake Superior?
We summered in western Michigan every summer when I was young. Beautiful along the shore is Lake Michigan.
Biggest disappointment for me was Buenos Aires. A once great city with decay and food reminiscent of 1970s America with better steak.
On the other hand, I did my honeymoon in Turkey, and it exceeded my expectations. Istanbul was cleaner and friendlier than Paris or Rome.
I don't get the appeal of Disneyworld, nor understand people who take every vacation there.
The UP isn't what it used to be twenty or so years ago. The developers have scooped up all the available real estate and parceled it out to the "flat land tourists" who build ticky-tacky cabins.

Castle Rock. Same price as in 1950.
Wow!! As I was reading this article I thought, “Just give me a tent and sleeping bag in the UP and I would be a happy woman.” One of the greatest hidden treasures of the world.
They are right about LA, but take the 30 mile drive north
to Simi Valley and visit the Reagan museum and all will be made well.
The thing is America has lots of places to visit...For history, St. Augustine or New England, Steamtown and other railroad museums (like Essex Steam Train in CT), Mystic Seaport and Old Sturbridge Village...
From link:
“...Iyer quotes offers a nice summation: “The Brain — is wider than the Sky.” Iyer uses a fluid blend of argument and anecdote to make a persuasive and eloquent case that contemplating internal landscapes can be just as rich an experience as traveling through external ones. The fact that he has traveled to some of the world’s most obscure corners only strengthens his credibility as a defender of stillness.”
