Part of every young persons education is The Grand Tour. They set sail or fly to The Continent. There are vists to The Uffizi in Florence , The Louvre, The Acropolis, The Vatican, as well as pleasure spots such as Monte Carlo and Capri. It helps to have a fabulously wealthy auntie to foot the bills. It takes about a year.
There is also for American youth, an additional grand tour. It consists of a road trip straight to Miami, west to New Orleans, south to Nuevo Laredo, returning north via Nashville to visit Tootsies's Orchid Lounge, the Kentucky Derby and a stop in Chicago to hit Buddy Guy's Blues Club, then straight home. It takes about a week and half.
Travel expands the mind. Don't deprive your children such great opportunities. If you don't have the rich relative, help them get a crappy car on the road, loan them a few hundred bucks, say a little prayer and ask them to pick up some fireworks for you on the way home.
