We're really not that far away from things. If you live in US midwest, and could only fly within a 3-hour trip radius - your options are 2 foreign countries (Canada & Mexico), and maybe one foreign capital.
Living here - within a 3-hour flight range, I could fly in to England, Scotland, Ireland, France, Germany, Netherlands, Italy, Spain, Portugal, Finland, Sweden, Russia, Poland, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Austria, Switzerland, and some lesser known countries. (within range of most of these foreign countries' capitals).
Not negging the US here...just sayin' :updown:
