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.
Extensively. The only states I haven't gotten to are Hawaii and the Pacific NW. Really want to see the Oregon Coast.
Agree you need to get around the States, too. Get away from spending vacation time on the beach and see our history and meet our people.
BTW, you'll get a warmer welcome in France than in some US cities! (I used to live in both Boston and NYC, I know what I'm talking about! LOL!)
