Earlier this week I commented on a posting about seeing the USA.  I received
the following rejoinder this morning:

>> that you need to do the whole USA at once for the challenge of it?  Or, are
>> you afraid of missing something if you don't?
>> Choose four, maybe five, six, places to investigate in-depth.  Get travel

>> see a lot more, and memories of sitting in a car won't predominate afterward.

My apologies to the poster from Cornell if the my remarks seemed too strong
nasty.  I do have strong feelings on this subject, however, having made such
mistakes as driving 4400 miles in 17 days on our honeymoon ....
