I’ve been saying the same thing for years—if I can’t drive there, I don’t go there. I’ve been everywhere foreign that I ever hoped to visit, and there are many large areas of the USA that I haven’t seen. I’m planning on taking a car trip before long..........
I have been in 43 of the 50 states and 11 foreign countries. I flew a lot in my military days, ending in 1992 at retirement. But, that was a much different time and I did not have to put up with the garbage of today. But, even now, when I take my wife to her family reunions, we drive from Alabama to Wisconsin, 925 miles one way. So, I don’t care, no flying. She has flown back to Seattle to visit family a couple of times and to Las Vegas to visit family, but she has gone alone. I ain’t flying!!!
