[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I haven’t lost my desire to travel, but it surely doesn’t feel as special as it used to be.  [b]Like a lot of people, what I like about travel is food.  Now, and I guess this can be a good thing, is I don’t have to travel to get great Italian, Korean, Japanese, or even Afghani food- not that I’m going to Afghanistan anytime soon.

Maybe it’s not as easy to come by and reaquires a little effort, but you can find Italian food here, in the states, every bit as good in Italy.  Fun fact, you can also find mediocre Italian in Italy- mostly in the tourist hubs, but I did have a couple pedestrian dishes.[/b]

I also agree with the notion that with so much of the world at our fingertips- internet, YouTube, Instagram, that once we arrive somewhere it feels too familiar.  This is self-inflicted and maybe I need to unplug and plan less for my next trip.

In short, I still love to travel and cherish it mostly for the shared experience with family.  These trips can be overseas or just a simple week at a local beach.[/quote]

But do you regularly get to eat this food in the US?

I don't.  Between money and time I rarely eat out.  I have 3 kids, a husband and a job and I'm not jaunting around DC (let alone around the US) to eat great food.  I'm usually making a 15 minute dinner on route to one of 5 sporting events that my kids are playing in that week. The joy of vacation (that never gets old) is actually having the time (and spending the money) to enjoy a great meal--and hopefully several in one week.  [/quote]

I don’t eat great ethnic food regularly in the U.S.  Like you, I’m busy.  My point is if I wanted to do so, it wouldn’t be hard.

Eating out is still one of the joys of travel.  It’s as much about the food as it is the experience- enjoying it with family or friends.  [/quote]
