Travel sports were our family vacation given the kids played different season sports. The company was usually good until the dysfunction came by mid season. I saw a lot of the east coast and it did provide me useful insight on which states I would not retire into. I did enjoy the local cuisine a little too much as I gained 10+ pounds over a decade travelled. Surprisingly many places south of the Mason Dixon had been infiltrated by the Yanks so it did not feel I truly left the northeast. Also, while some folks did not complain about the cost of participating in travel sports, they all agreed it is too expensive.
