Well, that’s not really the point I was going for…

It was really a bit of a stab at the pointless stereotype that makes some people feel the need to ‘go abroad’...anywhere…as long as it’s away from here.

But while we’re on the subject…it's not that I 'don't see the point'. I’m sure the Grand Canyon is breathtaking….Awe inspiring. It could perhaps fill my soul a little bit to bear witness to it’s magnificence…

But I’m slightly ashamed to admit I would probably only feel like that for about a minute and a half. And then I’d be thinking ‘Was it worth the palava I went through and (cash I spaffed) to get there in the first place?....meh'

I know I’m a miserable shitehawk – I just have limits. I very much doubt that I’ll get to visit Mars in my lifetime either but I don’t let it depress me. It’s a similar issue – just a question of effort and logistics I suppose.

As I mentioned in the post – it's just my opinion. Each to their own and I’m not saying I’m right, I’m saying I’ve made my bed and I’ll lie in it. Perhaps when I retire, or win the lottery, then things will be different. Just not now.

In fact, when teleportation is invented I’ll be first behind Kirk & Spock in the queue.

Thank you for playing. See you on the beach.
