      Which direction are you going? The LA route I found very long as it was 2 long hops, I would guess the UK - Eastward route would have 2 stops ??. Odd I recall the flight out but cannot recall the flight back at all.

      Means somewhere that is out of the modern world. Oddly very good on Dartmoor, worked in Plymouth and not far North of there is good - the land hides Plymouth somewhat. They built Dartmoor prison at Princetown for a reason - it's dark around there. Best was in Canada, but it was the middle on nowhere. You honestly met more bears then people. Shadows were caused by the Milky Way. Take the Rocky Mountaineer and stop at one or two of the towns overnight, grab a hire car and travel out a bit....
