Whatever you say Kentucky Chaos.  I just noticed how Sweden resembles a limp dick with Finland being the balls of the region...Probably an accurate portrayal there as well, ha!

You do realize that if you live in the US you have a wide range of options for travel and never leave the country right? 

You do realize uninformed @PJPOWER was the one who used "travelling the world" right?

@PJPOWER "You may get a lot of vacation days, but can you afford to travel the world while you’re off or just to stay at home on your couch?  I don’t mind working a lot of days if it means I can enjoy the fruits of my labor when I’m on vacation."

So here you have again, to show how ignorant he is:



And lets add this again also, because it fits the thread:

Still waiting on your site references...And it is still interesting that your graph shows that Americans take more trips than Swedes overall since you guys have way more vacation days. (international travel aside).  It kinda proves the main point that I was getting at.  Shouldn’t you guys be taking way more trips with all of those extra days?
But I doubt the people of Kentucky (a good state to compare with Sweden)can afford all of those fun trips either.
Remind me where I specifically said traveling the world meant international traveling?  US citizens can see a lot of the world while still traveling domestically (remember Hawaii and Alaska).  Hell, where I live, it is closer to fly to Jamaica than NYC or Seattle, so I see more “world”, staying in the US in many instances.
I forget how “small” you guys are (geographically of course):

There is real point here. I have noticed the Europeans really don't quite "get" what it's like for Canadians and Americans when it comes to travel. Like someone said already, it is SO cheap and easy for Europeans to travel from country to country. But here, especially in Canada, it is super expensive just to fly without our own massive countries, let alone to other countries. And just the time it takes... I remember my ex, who was from France, couldn't seem to adjust his thinking to match the enormity of Canada's landmass. He seemed to think it was odd that we didn't travel a lot to other parts of Canada. He once had to go to Toronto for a conference, and while he knew where it was on a map, he still thought that taking a quick train there was a viable option. When I told him that the train ride to get there would take 4 days or so, he seemed shocked. And he would suggest that we drive to places for a quick weekend road trip, and I'd be like, um, dude, that's like a 20 hour drive one way! He was just so used to easily being able to move from place to place in France/Europe - the idea of being so limited by your geography was almost like a foreign concept.

Did I mention that you could travel a fair portion of the world without having to leave the USA?  Oh yeah, several times...Maybe should have just said that we in the US travel more overall than the broke ass Swedes (evidently you guys just sit around and watch B-rated American movies and complain about the USA on your days off???).  Your graphs even show this (although I do not put much weight in your un-cited graphs).

I get the same look of amazement from people in other states when I tell them that you can drive 14 hours one way on some TX highways and still be within the TX state lines.  Alaskans are not impressed, though, ha.

I wasn't talking about you, or even thinking about you when I wrote that post. I was making a general point. Like I said, a "real" point. Not one related to you and your friends' constant bickering (which is making the AMT intolerable).

To further the point.. I'm sitting in West Palm right now, heading to the DMB show in a bit with my son.  We started yesterday in Miami and spent the evening in Little Havana.  Miami is South America in so many ways.  WPB is a different world.  Tomorrow we head down to the Keys with the rest of the family for a week of snorkeling, boating, fishing, etc.  That area is basically the Caribbean.  So three completely different cultural experiences, in one state, and about 200 miles.  Pretty cool.
