If you don’t have one, get a fucking passport. And don’t come back to this site until you do.
Seriously.
Derek, this one’s for you.
This is not about reversing Americans’ shameful lack of interest in anything outside our borders. No one can put a dent in that mass inanity.
This is for your own sake. For you to GET OUT THERE and see what the world is all about. Take the leap.

A visit is when you go somewhere to visit family.
A visit ≠ a vacation.
Unless your relatives have moved somewhere abroad, time in the family bubble does not count as a vacation. We all have family we want to spend time with; just don’t confuse it with vacation time.
A vacation is a soul-nourishing time of joy, discovery, and optional debauchery. Where your only obligation is to yourself: inspiring yourself, relaxing yourself, and returning yourself to the naturally curious, open, fun-loving person you are meant to be.
Everyone has family obligations. Just don’t burn all your vacation time fulfilling them.
* Exception to this rule: a family wedding abroad does count as a vacation.
Thank you to my friend Becky for elucidating this very important distinction.
Do I even need to say anything here?
