I am referring to personal travel and personal growth. I do not care to make a political gesture out of my travels. I travel for enjoyment and intellectual growth and have taken my three children all over the world from the time they were five.
Who gives a fig if the French like us or not? They are warm and welcoming to individual Americans. The Greek government is a pain in the butt; Greeks are wonderful and Greece is a fabulous place and no more dangerous than the US. Yes, you are safe sitting on your couch watching American Idol, but I'd rather face the miniscule risks of travel than live that way.
Excellent. You remind me of my mom.....that's a compliment.
Have you visited much of the USA? This is not intended to be snide...I'm just pointing out that there are many different, beautiful areas, with many unique cultures right here.
I remember visiting Maine for the first time over 30 years ago...being a "Westerner," it was like visiting a foreign country, and I LOVED it.
Now might be a good time to take the opportunity to support the good old USA and travel domestically.
