We had our first overseas trip in 2013...we'd been married 30 years, and been busy raising kids and buying a house and all the other things the real world throws at you (and no, trendsetters...the "real world" isn't bludging around living like a hippy...it's work and paying bills and contributing to society and raising a good family).

We finally decided now was the time, scrimped and saved, and had an all-too-brief trip to Las Vegas.

Now we're planning for a more prolonged trip...three weeks minimum...going from San Francisco down to LA to San Diego and back to Vegas in a rented car.

And yes...we're "boringly" going to the USA again. We loved it there. I know plenty of people who laugh and say we're mad, we should go to Asia somewhere like Bali or Thailand...but to be blunt they don't appeal to us, and friends raving about how cheap the beer and massages are doesn't really entice me to go there.

You wan't "cheap and exotic" be careful what you wish for...you might just get it...



I can't understand what sort of future people who "throw in their job to travel on a budget" like these people are doing think they're going to have...yes you'll have some memories (if you come back alive) but what happens after you come home? Most employers don't include "life experiences" such as travel into account when employing someone.

PM me, we did ten days in Vegas and drove from San Fran to LA. I can give you some good tips.
