    I’d like to mount a campaign to encourage people not to go anywhere. Travel has become so expensive and unpleasant that it’s hard to understand why people don’t stay home.
    Why are we crowding our highways and airports to get someplace else? Newspapers and magazines are filled with ads trying to get us to travel. They want us to go somewhere - anywhere but home.

    I generally go on a small vacation every year just to relax and get away. I save for it most of the year. Things have gotten so expensive this year especiialy plane tickets that I probably will be enjoying a relaxing vacation at home.
