My son who is 13 desperately wants to visit the UK. He's a railfan and is obsessed with the Flying Scotsman. I think he also believes he might meet up with some of his Minecraft friends.
I told him we could go when he graduates from High School. That's only 5 years away. I'd better start saving!

...and for goodness sake, make sure he knows better than to make any comment or ask any question that hasn't been thoroughly thought out, in advance. LOL
Not quite the same thing but here in Seattle people ask if we ever seen or have met Bill Gates or know any actual Indians. When I lived in California I was often asked when traveling, if I knew any movie stars even though I was 1,200 miles away from Hollywood, or had I met then Governor, Arnold Schwarzenegger (saw him out and about with Maria and kids twice...much shorter than you'd have thought).
Silly questions for sure but I'm always glad when people want to talk to me. LOL !

GreatTeacher ah yes steam locomotives, I can understand the attraction. There are dozens of railway museums, some with working steam locomotives in the UK.

This one in the midlands does half-hour trips every weekend.
My wife and I bounced around UK a few years ago and totally enjoyed it. Castles, stately residences, pubs, the National Museum, cathedrals!Could have stayed a lot longer - stillin
stillin, yes I love castles, art, museums, architecture and pubs too! Rome was heaven for art and history I must say.
I hope we continue to get many US vistors to the UK. They are a masive boost to the economy and all those I've met have been extremely polite and incredibly enthusiastic - bemused
So do I bemused.
