Yeah, you repeat your excuse. It is still just that -- an excuse.

Europe has a whole potpourri of small land area countries in less land
area than the U.S. The continental U.S. is also over 3,000 miles from
Europe and from East Asia.

People traveling from the continental U.S. to the Hawaiian Islands or
to Alaska are making a domestic trip.

Only someone who is ignorant or who is lying with "statistics" would
try to compare the number of "international trips" made by the U.S. and
Europe.

All you are saying here is that, sure, we don't do
international travel, we just have a "good excuse".

I said nothing of the sort.

Yes you did. Twice now.

Either you reading comprehension is poor or you are lying.

The vast majority of international travel between the U.S. and major
heavily populated countries, involves crossing 3,000+ miles of ocean.

No, it involes crossing into Mexico or Canada.

Canada has 1/10 the population of the U.S. and Mexico is a third world
country, thus limiting the number of potential trips from U.S.
residents.

For that matter, while it is a matter of fact that proportionately
more Canadians travel out of Canada than USians leave the US, one
major part of this is that most Canadians live within 2-3 hours
driving time of the US land frontier, while, of course, most USians
do not live within 2-3 hours driving time of Canada and/or Mexico.

Thus, such a comparison violates the rule that statistics are
useful only when like is compared to like.
