LA - passed through airport on way to/from New Zealand. My only times ever in the USA!

I was talking to dh about this yesterday. My mil lives right near Stonehenge. We must of driven past it hundreds of time but I’ve never stopped and had a closer look (I then looked a the entry prices and I don’t think I’ll bother)!

Get on it the next time you see it. Once in a lifetime opportunity.

Andorra. Driving from Spain to France. We stopped for lunch.

fridaynight1 · 06/08/2023 23:56

Also Madrid. On our way to the coast, we stopped to fill up with petrol.

Stonehenge absolutely

Birmingham. Through it on the M6 hundreds of times but never actually been there.

AdoptedBumpkin · 07/08/2023 00:03

This has made me smile because DP always points out the Walsall stadium on the rare occasions we pass it on the M6. It's near an RAC building isn't it?

msbevvy · 07/08/2023 00:06

I once had a wonderful view of the pyramids from a plane. I don't think I will ever get to visit them.

SoShallINever · 07/08/2023 00:11

Definitely Stonehenge, also Westminster Abbey, just too expensive.

meikyo · 07/08/2023 01:43

Las Vegas, in 1992. Drove straight through between National Parks. During the day so didn't get the full effect. I'm into the outdoors and natural landscapes so LV did not appeal at all

JaneJeffer · 07/08/2023 02:05

Snowdonia National Park

Seddon · 07/08/2023 02:12

I always feel a bit sad transiting through places and not giving them proper attention!

As well as common hub airports like Frankfurt where I've never even left the terminal, there are loads of places I've just lobbed up, done a work thing and left without having time for a look around. Hope to get back to most of them one day.

MyMachineAndMe · 07/08/2023 04:00

Stone Henge, like pp. We drove past, thought, "Is that it?!" and decided not to bother.
