2,000 miles is a pretty big trip especially in a car.

since you seem more familiar with european geography that's like traveling from madrid to moscow in a car.

my vacation experiences as a child:

trips to see family almost exclusively but outside of that

we moved a lot and ive been to all the states (at least driving in them) at least once
at the age of 10 i was on the last voyage of the USS Missouri from hawaii (which i saw for a day) to long beach. got to fire machine guns and grenade launchers.
at the age of 12 i was on the last voyage of the USS Lockwood from san fran (again, a day) to long beach. blew up more shit.
at the age of 14 we went on a family camping trip from buffalo ny to gettysburg
at the age of 15 we went on a family camping trip from newport ri up to maine
at the age of 16 we went on a trip in the winter to vermont
i was in boy scouts did a bunch of camping, went to a lot of civil war sites like antietam
at the age of 17 we did a roundabout trip of going from indianapolis to boston to ri to to dc to jacksonville fl
then i went to college
after college ive done a series of trips up north camping, gone to wilmington nc, denver, nyc... ive seen a lot of this country but i've barely seen anything

none of these trips were especially expensive, outside of my plane ticket to hawaii i think (i flew alone, came back with my dad)

no i didn't go to europe. oh well? i mean, i could do european vacations, but i feel like i'd want to stay a week in each place i visited atleast. it would take me a long time to see shit and i don't have the resources to do that right now

note i didn't do very many vacations when i was young because my dad didn't make much money. we lived in navy housing.

It's truly sad how poorly travelled you guys are. You have never wondered how humanity lives outside of your tiny corner of the world? How can grown adults with disposable income be content with never seeing other places or cultures? I had a good childhood and Dylan is right, there is something to be said for international vacations and competitive sports teams. Those were some of the high points of being a kid and you learn quite a bit when you are young and exposed to radically different places and ideas.

I'm going to Amsterdam in a few weeks and Hong Kong after that. I hope you guys can open your eyes and realize the world offers way to much to be content scraping by in the same small corner of the earth you were born in and will die in.

i played lacrosse in high school and when i played in massachucetts we played against teams from martha's vineyard and nantucket. we took a bus to the boat to the bus out to play them. they took a plane. they took it because they are a bunch of rich f**k. you could have taken a bus saz but you grew up with money. that's great and i'm happy for you but it doesn't make you better
