    I like this post also.

    I do a lot of short trips but I see lots! I spend little or no time in my room. Usually the room is just for use of a shower.
    I know people who travel overseas and spend the entire first day or two in the room. Not I.
    The longest trip I have taken overseas was a 10 day trip to South Africa. That is not even close to being enough time to explore that great country. We saw everything we could though.
    I like places that people do not consider, like Beirut and Bogota. Beirut was the greatest!

    Lastly, I know someone who has lived in Arizona for 30 years and has not been to the Grand Canyon. I think when you live in a place, you see even less than if you were a visitor.

    We nonrevers see the world usually via great hotel rates and car rental airline rates, free air fare. Usually average what? Maybe 3 days, maybe 4 days per trip? I don't know about you but my trips usually average 3 night stay somewhere. Usually, we find that plenty for a short hop to some city in Canada, Mexico or Central America, even in the USA. It's a great way to see many destinations even if its for three days. One can go to a three day destination and never see the outside of their fancy hotel room and pool, restaurant, bar. Others may wear a back pack and hit hostels and ride public transportation and criss cross a city or area while there for their three day stay. Some view the museums, others like the outdoors live viewing volcanos and Mayan ruins for instance. Some like the daytime activities and others live for the night life. I think the real travelers come from within and what they do while visiting places.
