Not all families could afford family vacations.

Then when I was an adult, working PT and going to school, I didn't have the money nor was able to take time off.

In fact, I had not been to the nearby states or even within the state I lived because we didn't have a lot of money growing up. It wasn't until I got a motorcycle that I started venturing. I did venture too because I had exams and it would be in a different state. Taking a train ticket and getting an accomodation would be expensive so I'd take the bike, write the exam and return back.

@iamnikki It was for a job. The government purposely sent people to other states so that most wouldn't attend for the exams.
