There’s a lot of travel talk at OnMilwaukee.com these days, thanks to the "Free Recession Buster Getaways" contest that will send winning blog writers to six cool cities. Most will agree that travel is important for new experiences to broaden perspectives. Not to mention, traveling is a lot of fun.

However, after the big trip, when you return home, what are your feelings about Milwaukee? Are you left pining for certain aspects of other cities or do you feel more appreciative of what’s here? Sound-off, Milwaukee!

Travel makes me love Brew City. It’s great to journey beyond this fine city, but every time I return, I am thrilled to be back. We have so many opportunities here, and it’s such an easy city to enjoy a comfortable life. Wherever I go, I am always happy to be home.

Travel makes me want to move. Often, when I travel, I come back to Milwaukee and do not understand why I live here. This city is lacking so many things, from retail outlets to public transportation, and it frustrates me.
