You can go on vacation in your state too ;-)

In my experience, a lot more Americans who can afford to travel know more people in other regions of the country that they would like to meet than people in most any European country know people in other regions of the continent.

It isn't just about choosing to take a pleasure vacation or not, but seeing close family and friends that often aren't in the same state.

Not as useful when a primary point of the vacation is to get out of a snowbound winterscape and onto a warm beach. Or to visit family who lives in another state.
