I don't know that it's entirely clear what your criteria are...
How long of a trip is "too long" for you in terms of getting to and from the destination?
Are you only interested in land travel vs. flying?
Where are you located?
"Domestic" or "North America" doesn't always equate to shorter than international. For example if you're in Boston, non-stop flights to and from Ireland are pretty much the same time as flying nonstop between BOS and LAX. From many parts of the southern US Mexico, Central and even northern South America are not that far in terms of flight time especially with a non-stop from hubs like IAH or MIA.
Budget? Depends - one can spend a lot of money on some domestic trips and can also find affordable international trips. Miles and points help in either case.
