   @airwhale @Chigaze "Overseas" is a common term in the US for foreign countries, even those on the same continent.

   And, yes, I live on the far shores of Lake Champlain, so it's figuratively and literally true.

     @Chigaze @evan

     I'm just thinking that "abroad" is a perfectly cromulent word to use for a different country.

     Like, take Hawaii. Definitely "overseas", but not technically "abroad" for US citizens, right? :)
