Seconded. If you know, you know.

I think a lot of them would but they're all of the same concept - norther, fewer children and families, not so much rich kid party boats. So, like, transatlantic cruise. Or a Scandinavian cruise. Or Alaska. Or perhaps Meditereanean?

Colder, more educated, more expensive.

Like Ivy women.

We've nearly finalized our trip to meet the kids in Bangkok over their winter break from college. Our beach house in Rayong and a stop in Hua Hin are on the dockett, now we need to decide between Chiang Mai, Chiang Rai and a few other non-island spots.
 
So if you are heading to Yellowstone from the east, and want to see some bison and hot springs without any lines, stop in Thermoplis WY.
 
Fun fact: the longest unobstructed sightline on Earth is 340 miles, Pik Dankova, Kyrgyzstan to Hindu Tagh, China.

That's the distance between Washington and Toronto, or between Paris and Turin.

Wait, how does that work? Why wouldn't this be in the Andes looking out to the pacific?
 
Just got home from a 4 week trip out west and back....

Before I "review" it, a commentary.

I get it that people don't want to leave the country. I don't agree with it, but I do empathize with people who are just afraid of leaving. So you don't get a passport, you don't leave the country.

If you do that, please, you really, really, really, really need to see our own country. We went to 5 National Parks and 2 national monuments, and they are incredible to see. Like you will look at it in awe wondering how it got there, and also not really understanding how so very different places can be so close to each other. There are 63 actual national parks in the US, and 425 National Park sites (monuments, battlefields, shore lines, etc). Go see them. They are all of ours and we all need to go out and enjoy them.

In-between them are communities that are different than yours. Some can be uncomfortable (ever see a rifle being taken out of a bar?), but they are still all of us, and you can get some interesting meals that are also interesting. You can also see the Field of Dreams site, or the biggest ball of popcorn. This is fun.

One other thing that is interesting- most of the parks sounded like New York in terms of languages that are not English. Yea, people from other countries fly to the US to see your national parks. That's how good they are.

Seriously people, get out and see our country. It's worth it.
