"Hey look - no post yet saying "I don't fly and drive everywhere and so should you and I'll never fly until things change." (never)

"Also - another word against exchange places: I'd rather a machine dole me out local currency than hand my $500 USD to a human - hoping for the correct amount returned after they tap tap tap on the calculater behind the glass window.

I take many weekend getaways, travel with just a small bag, - read, don't complain and enjoy being able to hop around the country for under $275."
