And certainly, logistically, there's a serious problem. A flight from New York to Los Angeles, for example, would cost anywhere from $300-500 round-trip. And driving would be out of the question for most; that's a 2,700 mile, 40-hour drive.
Just some quick stats
Distance from San Francisco to Boston = 4339 km Distance from London to Warsaw = 1447 km
How many chapters are squeezed into the shorter distance?
But the cost of travel by plane is similar around USD 500 - and practically - time of travel as well if you take into consideration time spent to get to airport and time spent in custom, check-in etc. And believe me - the difference between London and Warsaw is much higher than between LA and NY in terms of language, habits, level of personal income etc. We are not going to travel across Europe and US on horses, so the distance in miles is not so important :-)
