I don't like the touristy stuff either unless it's tied to history in some way. We did a lot of the cliche attractions in London and that was fun because it was educational. I have a friend in Croatia that has asked me to come visit and would love to see that part of the world. The food is supposed to be really good there. In terms of suggestions, we loved Portugal. Lisbon makes a great home base for smaller towns like Sintra. It is absolutely gorgeous there and the people, culture, and food were outstanding. Other than that, the UK and the American southwest. The Grand Canyon is like nothing I've ever seen anywhere else in my life.
Yeah, those two trips so close together would be pretty taxing but probably worth the wear and tear. : )
You should indulge them, Croatia seems brilliant.
Hmm, headed to the UK again in two days, as for Lisbon, oh my heart. I did a last-minute trip there in the summer of 2020, when the restrictions had eased up a bit and I was desperate to just go. Best decision of my life. <3
I've never been to the US actually, but would love to go. Something about the nature, big open spaces and roads thing really appeals. You don't get that in Europe.
I would love to go. He plans on buying a lot of land there and he said if the world goes to hell I have a spot on his land. Lol.
Oh nice! I bet you're excited to go back. I really connected with the UK, almost half of my DNA comes from there so maybe that's why. Believe me, driving from Minnesota to Arizona has taught us just how much wide open space there is here. It takes us four days of driving 6-8 hours a day to get there. Once we get through Kansas City there are only small towns with large gaps of open spaces in between.
Enjoy your trip and safe travels!
