&gt; family in tow.<p>That does change things a bit.<p>Like I said, often there are some good reasons sometimes many good reasons. But as a stereotype, in the US people will have lots of material possessions, most of which are crap.<p>I know the comfort of having your own things that have been with you throughout the years, and everything is exactly how you&#x27;re used to them.
