You all are making me want drop everything and go see the country! My most recent adventure was up into Alberta Canada for a week with my mom. I recommend it highly...if you get close to the northern border of the US, take the time to venture across. That does take some extra planning to make sure they don't take your lunch (we lost fresh peaches in customs).

I'll second this one. This past summer we flew our 19 year-old son from Rochester NY to San Jose CA, so he could drive back with a friend. After one evening of rest where Tommy got to dip his toes in the Pacific Ocean, they drove back, arriving three days later. They saw virtually nothing but highway! Why? Because his friend only had enough money for gas, but he didn't tell my son that until they were past Illinois.
So, while you can travel fairly cheaply, make sure you have the splurge fund and emergency reserve set aside.
