Driving from Truro to Thurso?

Bored this AM and decided to track driving distances in European countries (look it’s either that, or fold laundry, wash dishes and mop my floor — cut me some slack, I know it’s pathetic). From deep south England to most northern Scotland is only 13 hours in a car according to Mapquest and only 796 miles. Which got me thinking . . . since you can pretty much be anywhere you want inside the UK within hours – even a morning depending on where you live, how many of you have been almost everywhere? Has almost everyone visited Wales for example if you don’t live there, same with Scotland? England? Do you all vacation in the UK, or is it too close and you don’t feel like you’ve gotten away? Have you all been to Dover to see the white cliffs?? That’s on my bucket list.

Or, do you fall victim to the same thing that happens here, where we fly 5000 miles to London to climb to the top of St. Paul’s Cathedral (yup, been there, done that and got the pictures and shin splints to prove it:-)) (and BTW, one of the most beautifully stunning buildings I’ve ever seen — actually brought me to tears because of the beauty – I hope you appreciate how incredibly beautiful that Church is, whether or not you have religion) but my daughters have yet to be taken to see the Liberty Bell and Independence Hall in Philadelphia which is a mere 2.5 hours and 120 miles from my house in North NJ?? Pretty sad — I may have to fix that at Easter break.
