I recently came back from a 3.5 weeks visit in the US. We
spent about half the time in New York, and the other half in California - a coast-to-coast
visit. It was quite a journey that blended sightseeing, entertainment, restaurants, shopping, meeting friends, and most importantly: family reunion. With all the wonders of modern communication, it seems that "good old" air travel is not obsolete just yet.
