[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There's a lot of the north American west I haven't seen. I traveled a lot when I was young and have flown to Europe and the British Isles a handful of times over the last decade.

I research national parks out west. I am going to one next month.

[b]I think about the north American west every day.[/b] I used to think about foreign travel every day and now wonder if I'll ever care to fly to another continent again. [/quote]

This is me.  I still like to travel and have been fortunate to see a good part of the world.  I am still looking forward to a bit of overseas travel, but my best trips and those I look forward to the most are out west.  [/quote]

Yes to this. Now that my kids are tweens and old enough to appreciate travel more, we are planning an international trip with them, and we just gots them passports. But I am also challenging myself to do more things near home, partly because I'm in my mid 40s and the jet lag kills me, but also because we (all of us) tend to get wrapped up in our lives without really appreciating where we are. And we live in a really naturally beautiful region near several national parks in Washington state, and we don't get out to enjoy it enough.[/quote]

But I will say that National Parks are also more crowded than ever. We went to Mount Rainier last summer, which requires advance booking now just to drive into the park.
