In the US, there are larger areas between major cities, at least in the West. That makes things a lot more relaxing on long trips. On one trip in 1995, I went about 17,000 miles and never left the country (other than Niagara Falls). That is long distance. Didn't hardly repeat the same route either. In the UK, it looks like major cities are MUCH closer. I can see why it would be less relaxing. However, When near major cities in the US, such as LA, driving is much more stressful. -- Mike Ballard mapmaker@smartlink.net Geologist, Bicyclist, Local Historian, Railroad Fan.
