Old saying in the South:

“Why should I travel? I’m already here!”

We go to Hilton Head Island a week at a time, not expensive outside of high season (when the temperatures are highest), several times a year. Then we went to a colleague’s wedding in Ottawa, easy two day drive one way and we knew we were in a foreign country. U.S. Customs searched our vehicle & made us wait after they scanned our passports (wife & I are retired military, Republican, NRA); a “random” search of course, yeah, right.

While in Canada I made a list of all the things we left behind. Billboard French was everywhere in Ontario; the Anglophones truly hate the forced bilingualism.

Have not yet gotten the travel bug. And when I find it, I’m going to smash it.

If you normally vacation at a place like Hilton Head which people travel hundreds of miles to get to (two hour drive for us), aren’t you `already there’?

So, you're already married?
