Default OT: Vacation Travel (Was: Best Aviation Magazines?)

To me, "vacation" is defined by having the time to read the newspaper
over a second cup of coffee in the morning, whilst eating a toasted
bagel with cream cheese and strawberry jam smeared liberally all over
it. All done in a leisurely fashion, of course.


If I'm going to travel, I don't want to be at home. I want the local
newspaper to get stories I'll never see anywhere else.I want a local
restaraunt instead of McFood. When I'm driving a long distance, I even
try to tune in to local talk shows and I get a different view of the
world.... sometimes hilariously different!


Precisely, John. That's exactly what Mary and I do -- we try to sample
the local flavor wherever we go, which means getting far off the
freeway, away from big-box chain hotels and freeway-food places like
"Applebees" and "Olive Garden".

I will never, ever understand in a million years why anyone stays in a
"Holiday Inn Express" or eats at Bob Evans, when there are soooo many
outstanding, less-expensive, locally-owned choices available.

Really, if you only stay and eat in chains, why in the hell should you
ever leave home?
