Flights from Edinburgh to New York for under £60. I'm quite excited, because I've always wanted to visit the USA, but haven't really been able to afford it, or feel that the experience will be good enough to justify the massive expense of just getting there and back. https://inews.co.uk/essentials/news/business/britons-fly-us-60-next-summer/ i hope you do come! of course i am on the west coastish and not in NY but i think you'd have a good time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AxlsFavoriteRose Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 in the spring i hope to get to the coast...love my mountains but i love the coast as well. plus after living in the high desert seeing all the green plants and springtime flowers really makes me happy. then in August i usually go somewhere that i can enjoy the Perseids meteor shower but since i live here i will probably just see them from my backyard...did that last year and it was great, i saw some spectacular fireballs along with tons of meteors. that way i will hopefully be able to go to El Paso, TX to see GN'R and visit family i have there. in between there are usually trips to Lake Tahoe...idk if that counts as travel cos it's only like a half hour drive but it is so beautiful there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gracii Guns Posted January 8, 2017 Author Share Posted January 8, 2017 So… the Malaga idea is in the bin, and we're thinking of Orlando in September. Any Floridans here? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gracii Guns Posted January 17, 2017 Author Share Posted January 17, 2017 @Amir Thinking long-term, I'd really like to visit Iran. The flights to Tehran from Amsterdam are attractively (but worryingly) inexpensive. What do you think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're married, so if you go with your husband it shouldn't be an issue, though you would have to wear a headscarf. I use Skyscanner for flight price comparisons, I think Pegasus does the cheapest to Tehran. Tehran is interesting but the best place for tourists is Isfahan, Royal Safar does cheap bus tickets from Tehran to Isfahan and the buses are nice (http://en.royall.ir/, though I wouldn't book online because fuck knows how that works). Shiraz has Persepolis, which is worth seeing. Spring is beautiful time to visit, though quite busy (Iranian new year on first day of spring). Summer can be hot south of Tehran. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Axls Rocket Queen Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 (edited) Just been invited to a wedding in Minnesota this August...if I can get the time off work I'll likely go to California for a week or so and do my veterinary state board exam, weekend in MN for the wedding then back to Cali for a few days before heading home Also this option actually would save my husband and I £600 in flights vs going straight to Minnesota and back from the UK Edited January 18, 2017 by Axls Rocket Queen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually do want to visit Iran someday too...but it doen't seem like it'll be happening anytime soon Decided I'm gonna be driving my entire two weeks in the UK. The car is significantly cheaper to pick up and return in London, as opposed to picking it up a few days later in Glasgow when I really need it. Gonna take advantage of that and hit some sightseeing a bit out of the way on my free days, particularly excited for Portmeirion and Stonehenge (Finally, it'll only have taken seven visits to the UK before I finally get to see it ). Really looking forward to clocking somewhere in the ballpark of 2,000 miles driving on the wrong side of the road too. Also doing all my US travel plans now as well. My big domestic trip is two weeks in the Southwest, starting in Oklahoma City, and hitting Houston, Dallas, San Antonio, Albuquerque, Phoenix, and San Bernardino before ending up in Los Angeles. Planning on hitting plenty of sights down there as well since I'll be driving the whole way, particularly excited for Monument Valley and the Grand Canyon. Also gonna stop at the Four Corners so I can check off Colorado as a new state (Even if it is on a technicality), as well as New Mexico, Utah, and Arizona which will all be new states for me.

I once got stopped by the TSA at Seattle airport with a mirror covered in white powder residue in my bag. That was an interesting conversation after a ten hour flight.
