My wife and I have travelled the UK extensively, but had never been to Devon and Cornwall in the southwest, and it had been on our bucket list.

She was a huge “Poldark” fan, so we did sign up for a day-long “Poldark” tour. It did not disappoint. It was just the two of us and a guide.

Of course, it wasn’t the sole reason we visited the area, and we saw lots of other cool places, but the tour was a high point.

> On a road trip to Seattle many years ago, my buddy and I made sure to stop in Roslyn WA (where exteriors for “Northern Exposure” were shot) and have a look around.

I loved that one storefront had a faded “Dr. Joel Fleischmann” on the window.  
Oh, and on the way up there we visited a number of Twin Peaks locations: the diner (for a damn fine piece of pie and cup of coffee); and the lodge where Agent Cooper stayed serves a wonderful brunch…
