As an adult didn't go many places with ex that i hadn't been to before but since been with my lovely oh been to Lake District (1st weekend away together is beautiful), Devon, oxford, Dartmouth, Minehead (ended up there on weekend with motorbike) London.

I don't think I have ever left to be fair ? I was 18 months old when we moved away and now 36. But stayed at my nans all the time, then in my teens stayed there once I got a car every other weekend she would give me petrol money and bought me my 1st car. Spent alott of time with my cousin around the pubs in later years. But most saturdays where spent shopping in pride hill and the darwin centre as my nan went to bingo. She passed away 11 years ago now, but still went there shopping with friends and dragged h there. Go to the family herritage centre now alott to research my geneology, even though not touched it in a while! My granddad passed in Jan and sadly I have not visited since so a shopping trip required and a couple of bounces on the bridge from frankwell carpark required as long as it is not flooded ? The a49 is a calling for a trip me thinks defo now!

I can't believe how many places you all have been! I'm so jealous! I've never been to Europe. Hubby has already been, so he's not dying to go like I am! We should have honeymooned there.

I live in the US. I've been all over the US, a lot of Canada, Mexico and Jamaica twice.

Nowhere exotic, like Maldives, Greece and Turkey. Totally jealous, but love reading all your posts! We have family in Norway and Italy, so no excuse not to go. Just need to plan it.
