jerseyboy - perhaps there are a lot of the same things to do in all of the towns in the country but exploring all of the things that make them different is part of what I'm talking about. Example: I eat at the Applebees near my house quite frequently. Good food, good prices, friendly people. I know its a chain restaurant but it's my local standby. When i travel I never go to an Applebees of TGIFridays or such. I always seek out people who can tell me of local place that offer something different and special to the area. Hell the local COC or policeman can tell you ten good places at the drop of a hat.
Yes there probably is only one day to spend at the Worlds largest ball of string museum. But the three days you spend there with the locals talking about what a yahoo the guy that runs the ball of string museum can be wonderful.
