I'd love to see those things, but not at the emotional/mental cost of actually having to travel to those places. If travelling didn't suck so much and in so many ways, maybe... but the reality is that airlines, lodging, and crowds collectively detract from the experience. Personally, it's very much a net loss.

I'm reminded of Dr. Johnson's assessment of the Cliffs of Dover: "Worth seeing, yes. But not worth going to see."
