Yeah not all of us travel to compare national parks and nature. Bird watching in the Aleutian Islands would be a drag for most of us. On the other hand, events with friends, lovers, annual festivals (yacht weeks, film festivals, music festivals), getting immersed somewhere else so long that you take classes and go about the day to day with others in the class, actually enjoying taking cross country trains because they are a fast and viable form of transportation. Can't wait till that is viable again! Many of those things are possible in the US, many of the events are just not in the US and their original locations are better for it, there are also lots of people not interested or capable of coming here, who I like to be around.
