Fuck em, all the airlines. We need to go back to travelling within the US on cross country road trips. Rent a car if need be. Spend our money within American soil and make tourist traps great again. I've done that for my last 2 vacations and had a blast. I don't miss flying at all.
The USA has almost ever single type of environment available to visit. Almost all of them can be visited by car/bus within a couple days. It is an amazing country full of natural beauty to see!
While I was homeschooling my daughter's Pre-K material, she learned how diverse the US is compared to the rest of the world. Why waste your life going to Matterhorn when you can go to Glacier National or Yellowstone?
Depends on how you do it I guess, going from city to city staying in cramped hotels and tour bus while filling your camera up with pictures just to rub your friends nose in your luxury is a waste to me. But, going and checking out locales and ancient artwork, or going on a safari is pretty badass. Renting somebody’s house and going to their local grocery stores and just staying in small towns was cool for my wife and I. We figured out how to get here and there and didn’t rely on a tour guide to do it.
But yeah, I have my eye on lots of road trips around the US from now on. Flying sucks all around.
I recently driove across country, it's not a couple days it's at least 4-5 and that's if you're really pushing yourself, we need to get some based airlines
I have been doing a ton of that the last 5 years because something tells me we are not going to be able to just do that whenever we want very soon. I am blessed (or cursed as it sometimes seems) to live in the west with huge open spaces where you can drive for days.

I don't view going overseas as a waste, but you're right, if you don't at least see the whole US first you're missing out. So much to see and do.

Tesla airlines sounds nice.
Too bad Pete Buttgag is working hard to eliminate private travel and wants mass transportation for everyone to limit how far you can travel.
Peter Puffer can go fuck himself with the Washington Monument
“He” would enjoy that.

It's cool, I've been a road pirate before and I'm happy to be one again.

Yeah, cause 2 out of 52 is such a great ratio and all Americans love the hedonic treadmill.
Yup, America has so much in it!
We have such a wonderful diversity of settings!
