That's right. For you, traveling around the US is kinda like me traveling to the countries we are connected with. Norway and Sweden have ferrys every hour or so and I can drive to Finland from there. I can just drive to Germany, Netherlands, France, Italy... Almost anywhere within Europe, except UK+Ireland and Iceland. I've been both places, so now I've just got a lot of cheap road-tripping to do to see the rest of Europe.
Well, I can't drive to many of the danish islands, either, but I went there on a boat trip when I was little. It totally counts.
