I enjoy the preparatory elements of travel - packing my bags and choosing my outfits - but my favourite part is getting there.

The time to enjoy a European trip is about three weeks after unpacking.

Crucial to understanding federalism in modern day America is the concept of mobility or 'the ability to vote with your feet.' If you don't support the death penalty and citizens packing a pistol - don't come to Texas. If you don't like medicinal marijuana and gay marriage don't move to California.
