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.
