So there was a 3 week trip in Canada, then a separate trip in Germany lasting 10 days, it's Netherlands vacation lasted 17 days, and then at least 14 days in the US.
It's not really surprising, not because it was in the US, but because it traveled such a large distance through the East coast, one of the more heavily populated areas of the US, which is also going to have its poorer and dangerous parts too.
I'd be surprised if it managed to get all the way to its goal of the opposite coast. The U.S is a big place.
