maybe we should start a PH exchange program. It just seems that someone lives in or around a city that someone else wants to go to.

would be interesting

Oz is another place I want to visit and have not, Jenny . . .

Why did you dislike Toronto so much as to not wish to return? (I won't be insulted - I live 2000 kms from there!)

in all honestly, all I saw was the train station

We arrived by train, and were going to stay a couple of days. B/F was up getting info for hotels etc, when police and ambulance were everywhere. It was late at night, and there had been a girl badly assaulted in the restroom .....

I got really nervous - lots of scary people around - so we got on the next train out of there, to Niagara Falls .....

I think the exchange program is a great idea. Anyone want to come to Asheville, NC?

Trust me, Jenny, Union Station is not at all indicative of what a cool city Toronto can be . . . but the good news is, you got to see Niagara! Did you stop in wine country along the Niagara peninsula?

Haha!!! I remember that!!

My home is open to all y'all whenever ya wanna be here. It was so interesting to see places in Colorado on people's lists of places to want to go. We're spending a bit of time this summer doing mini vacations in our own state 'cause there is just so much here.

One thing I noticed is that not very many of us go anywhere off the beaten path or too far from home. Americans just don't travel as much as the rest of the world.

I lOVE to go off the beaten path. Unfortunately, that often takes more fun tickets than I have available, so I go somewhere less exotic and final the local unbeaten path.

I think part of that is due to the sheer size and diversity within our own country. There's such a variety of places to go and things to see here, we don't often have to venture outside of our own borders to find something unique.

Ditto. To think that one country's geography goes from giant metropolises (metropoli??) like New York City to tropical islands in the Keys and Hawaii, to desert in Arizona, to Redwoods in Cali to glaciers in Alaska, its pretty awe inspiring and not many countries can boast that.

This is the exact thinking that leads to us not going anywhere. Trust me there is no place in this country that looks anything like Southeast Asia or the Eastern Plains on Africa, a culturally it's not even close either. And those who don't venture out of the safety of the US are missing ALOT!

From my experiences, I've found Americans don't get nearly as much vacation time as the rest of the world.

2 weeks compared to a month or more in some countries.
