The US is so big, it's the closest a country can get to being a huge theme park. It's many themed cities range from Colonial, Western, Tropical, Alpine, Neo-Classical, Beachy, Foresty, Deserty, and on and on. I'm so thrilled to live here (in cowboy themed Dallas). I can't think of any other single country where if you never left its borders you'd still have a million cool and varying places to vacation. Europeans may find the historical depth of the country somewhat lacking, though.
I like your vid.....is it the same places the Griswalds went to...well except theres no Wallyworld at the end ? ;D
I heard this song on the movie National Lampoons Vacation and played the song part like 20 times ..... Its magic dudes ;)

Excellent job. Even has the "ruff ruff, ruff" at the end.
I love the inclusion of the border-crossers warning from San Diego, depicting a family of three running across the freeway, lmaooo!

Best movie ever! I even bought a '85 Country Squire "Family Truckster" because I'm such a huge "Vacation" dork!

I looked what it cost to travel from Washington to San Fransisko, 360 dollar. 2600 swedish kronor, a bargain?

It must be very nice to take a train over the whole country in the USA. I live in Sweden so i cannot surely feel that feeling.

Super job on the video, in the true "VACATION" style. Makes me want to board a train with my camcorder now!
