Bush won the election! CM
This is probably why you can't travel to the US.
He can't?
Sheesh... I've got my EU passport so no problem..... but I don't want to get
shaken down for a retinal scan and fingerprint for your Homeland Security
Office.
I have 2 US Visas and an American Social Security Card. I have travelled
through-out the USA years ago.... down the west coat to Mexico taking in
every state along the West coast... back up from Mexico through the central
western states.... I would say that I have been to more states than most of
you.. I've been in every state up the Eastern coast and all along your
border with Canada. I've been through most of the central states as well.
The USA offers nothing I couldn't find anywhere else on the planet. In
general... I found it to be paranoid, rude and the people generally ignorant
of anything outside their respective states ... let alone their national
borders.
Canada, Mexico, Cuba and the Caribbean offers everything the US does.... so
I have no need to travel there except maybe to visit some of my many
American friends..... but not at the price of getting a shake-down and
frisked at the front door. Most people specify no US stops on trips to other
countries now.
Globally speaking... and in very general terms.... I found that years ago
Americans were tolerated but disliked.... whereas now it seems they are
despised and avoided. I must state however that I have had pleasant
experiences with the American Tourists visiting Canada. I also had the
pleasure to meet with some very nice Americans during my travels there. It
seems that politeness and courtesy is contagious.
But rest assured... I'd prefer a trip to the USA than any Muslim Country
right now!
