While I have a mild interest in seeing parts of Europe, it's not strong enough to want to do it.

That's not intended as a slight towards areas outside the continental US. The truth is that I hate airports and air travel and long TSA lines. I am not cranky by nature, but air travel makes me very cranky.

If I could get to Europe by train, I'd do it. But not likely that's going to happen :)

I've seen pictures of Hawaii and it's very nice. But New England in the fall is more my cup of tea.
