Cloudtravel pointed out the top 10 destinations for Americans last year, according to Travel and Leisure.  Apparently 61.8 millions Americans crossed the border last year. 

 Here's the breakdown:

  • Mexico (19.3 million visitors)
  • Canada (15 million)
  • U.K. (3.69 million)
  • France (2.41 million)
  • Italy (1.92 million)
  • China (1.81 million)
  • Germany (1.75 million
  • Jamaica (1.26 million)
  • Japan (1.07 million)
  • Bahamas (1.01 million)

I have a bit of pride in knowing that we'll be spending the vast majority of our time in places that don't make the top ten list for visits from Americans. It's not that we don't like our fellow Americans of course, we just want an experience that's not built for catering to millions of us.
