   No. In 1972 I was in an exchange program not knowing where I was heading to.   
   Just America. Arrived in New York and got a bus ticket to Great Falls Montana.   
   A trailways bus Detroit Chicago Denver SaltLakeCity GreatFalls. There are more   
   direct routes but to keep it cheap I was given a "See America" ticket and made   
   the grand tour. 4 days on a bus, I can write a (small) book about it. Crossing   
   Nebraska end of June was so boring ... there is nothing, just fields with corn   
   as far as the eye reaches.   
       
   Also was in a GreatFalls LosAngeles trip, LosAngeles to Detroit and then to   
   New York. Affordable but it takes so much time ... plus all the meals en-route   
   plus drinks ... competes with airlines. But you see a lot, the perfect way to   
   learn how big the USA really is.
