Didn't you have one at one time? |

Or if you were heading to Georgia you might want to visit some theme parks and St Augustine along the way. But to each his own. Right? I have been to all of those places. We like to see new places Can't find new places if you fly over top of them. You can't see them on the interstate at 80 on the ground either. That is why we pick a state or two and spend 2-3 weeks there. Things are far enough apart, even then. I love to travel by car when I have the time. Most people think of going from PA to FL as being on I-95, I don't. I don't know how many times I've made the trip on how many different routes. All of them very enjoyable to me. I've got a meeting in Philly coming up this fall. It's only for a few days and I won't have the time to go wandering before or after the meeting. Been to Philly many times; my dad was born there, and lived in Elkins Park. Later, the family moved to Massachusetts. Anyway, I'm sure I'll go up there and back on Amtrak. From you to Philly there isn't very much to see! Not along the Interstate . The train ride is pleasant and short. Let me guess. You like to count telephone poles along the way? |

Well, there's also the railroad stuff, which is interesting, plus greenways, rehabbed areas, and the like. I suppose I am not the downer you are, seeing the "dark side" of everything I encounter. WOW! |

By the time you get aboard, buy a coffee, and read the paper, you're there. |

You sure seem to when it comes to car travel, though! I'll happily drive the 3.5 hours to Virginia Beach or Ocean City. |

If the government doesn't already confiscate passports belonging to tax cheats, they should. |
