    The Scottish highlands! One of the places I love that’s sadly (but understandably) not very accessible with public transport. I found the Scottish people friendly, fun and down to Earth, and the landscapes there are just breathtaking

    I usually start road trips with an early morning Hardee’s/Carl’s Jr. gravy biscuit with hash browns and a Coke. I go in and sit with all the old people awake at 5 AM. It’s a nice way to wake up and start a long journey.

      Took the answer right out of my mind. Get me a hoagie or some candy and gas. Hop right on the turnpike and get the fuck out of PA.

      Wawa is pretty much always the real start of a trip for me. Top off the gas, check tires, grab something with caffeine and a Sizzli or soft pretzels, and then I know I’m as ready to roll as in going to be!

          So I did get one of the s’mores hot cocoas. It was nice! It gets sludgy at the end due to whatever is making it taste all graham crackery though, and I don’t always enjoy that sensation. But the flavor is very nice and until the sludge, also nice!

            Yum (minus the sludge)! I’m headed out later today, maybe I’ll stop by Wawa on my way home. It’s supposed to be a cold rainy day today so a smores hot cocoa would be perfect :)

    The country I live in now is quite well-served by railway lines so it would be hard to imagine going on a road trip… If I have the opportunity however, maybe to the Ardennes mountains since it’d be nice to explore the whole area

    The ironic answer would be the local pothole(s)

    I live in the northern suburbs of Stockholm Sweden, so a road trip will probably mean going south.

    So lets start going west!

    I would hit up Gripsholm castle to say hi to Leo the Lion: https://www.kungligaslotten.se/artiklar-film-360/gripsholms-slott/2018-07-22-legenden-leo.html

    Then I’d go down the E4, stopping at a moose park in Småland, stay overnight at my aunts place, keep going south to Blekinge, visit Marinemuseum (the National Maritime museum of Sweden) in Karlskrona, then continue on to Malmö, drive to Denmark, visit Legoland, continue to Germany, and Hamburg, for Miniature Wunderland, then find out where the closed steel works that you can explore are, go there, then find the park with old bucket wheel excavators, check those out, keep going south to Sinsheim and Speyer and checkout the cool technology museums, drive over to France and start heading back home.

    Never been to a desert or west of the Rocky Mountains. Gods I don’t want to roll there from NW Florida, but I’ve never seen it.

    No financial or resource limits? I want to go everywhere within driveability and see & do absolutely everything.

    Including Hiking all the waterfalls in Oregon.

    All the breathtaking lesser-known beach gems up & down the California coast line.

    Disneyland 😊 I wouldn’t recommend it for everyone, but I want to go because I haven’t been since childhood/teenager and it would be cute nostalgia.
