Cancun and the Caribbean are very specific types of vacations I mostly don't have much interest in. There are other South American trips though those can get more involved; looking at one at the moment.

To be clear I've traveled internationally a lot. But I also understand why fewer Americans are inclined to do so than someone who lives in a small European country who might drive across a border.

Those Europeans don't even need a passport to do that.. so your example doesn't really make any sense.

That was my point. Europeans can travel between countries without a passport at little cost. For probably most Americans an international vacation is an expensive trip.

No, we established that flights to Cancun and the Caribbean are extremely cheap, and flights to Europe can be had for the same price as flights to the far coast of North America.
