I am totally with you on all of this. You hit the nail right on the head.

The only time I've ever felt like I loved some place for its accessibility was Disney World. And that's because it's so seamlessly accessible that it didn't even warrant a second thought, and I loved that I could focus my attention and energy elsewhere. But that's Disney World - it was all part of the illusion.
