You do need to keep in mind that going to another country (not counting Canada or Mexico, where you don't even need a passport as an American), is a lot further away than in Europe or Asia.
It is an 8 hour drive from Erie Pennsylvania, to Philly Pennsylvania. It is a 3000 MILE flight from coast to coast.
An American going on vacation to Disneyland is a lot more difficult than a Brit going to France, and at the end of the day, the weather is a lot nicer.
Bottom line, if an American has a passport, they are going 3-5k MILES away. Check your stats and see how many of your passport holders went that far. The Chunnel doesn't make you a world traveler.

Disneyland...
8 hours and still in Pensylvania....
Try to drive to Rome ( In Italy, because you have one hellhole in the US called the same) and let me know if it took more than 8 hours....
That americans don't want or like to travel is quite OK with me. Question of choice... I can respect that ...
Check this thread tomorrow to start the day laughing....
