We go off a lot. We've found restaurants less crowded, stores less picked over and sales staff and servers less stressed out and cranky. We love TV and all it has to offer but it's just part of a big world waiting to be explored.
I'm reminded of my Army days when other G.I.s often never left post or if they did it was to go to the nearest bar. I couldn't wait to get into civies and head out to explore and meet locals. I made lifelong friends and lifelong memories in parts of the world I would have never seen if Uncle Sam hadn't called. Different strokes for different folks.
