Give me a museum and I'll fill it. (Picasso) Give me a forum ...
We used to take whirlwind vacations, often to Europe, where we'd fly in, rent a car and see as many cities and places as time would allow. We'd arrive home needing another vacation to get back our strength.
$9 per U.S. gallon gasoline in Italy and reading online, we discovered that traveling slower is much better preferred. Now, we'll fly in and stay a long weekend in a city. Then we'll move on down to the next city in close proximity for 3-4 days. In a 2 week trip, we might visit 4 cities no more than 3-4 hours apart. And we always travel open jaw flying into one city and out of another.
We will sometimes fly on a budget airline to another completely different place on the way home--often with a major regional airport.
Getting home, we'll often still be tired--but we're up and moving the next day. In the old days, it'd take a week to recover.
