USA - great place for travelling

It's a paradox that the US is so huge country but travelling is here much easier than in Europe. In Europe you plan your trip for example to France a long time in advance and you think how far away it is even in fact it's up to 15 hours by car from Czech Republic. You take care of lots of things and you are permanently scared what can happen there. Here you just rent a car and drive couple hours (sometimes days;) ) to far away state like California.

Perception of a distance is here just different. And it's not just because Americans use miles instead of kilometres... American are get used to travelling among states and it's natural for them. And for foreigners it's not difficult to get used to it, too. Rentals of cars everywhere, cheap gas (two times cheaper than in Europe), quality net of interstates (highways). All that helps...

So, me and my friends have already travelled twice to Colorado. Beautiful state next to Nebraska, but from Lincoln you drive there about 15 hours. No problem for us, just rent a car and let's go... Here is a picture from skiing in Colorado from Thanksgiving break. Btw., is snow already in Czech mountains?

Travelling catches you and don't let you go anymore. So now we are planning the trip to Florida for Spring break. Don't you have a tip for a cheap accommodation near to Orlando? ;)
