Am I the only person who took NO TRIPS as a child?

This came up in conversation today and the person was very shocked that I hadn't anywhere as a kid and not many places in my own state.

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.

You don't HAVE to go with anyone. When I became an adult and travelled out of state, I went alone. Of course, my destinations were people I knew and worked with via phone conversations, but you don't need to do what I did.

Plan your own trip - - someplace you would like to go to - and start to ask cities and states for addresses and places to stay or find tourist help. All states have someplace to recommend to visitors. That is how they make money!
