The Extraterrestrial Highway 375 UFOS Aliens

We've all heard of plane spotting, train spotting, and even celeb spotting, however when in Southern Nevada the only thing we're trying to spot are the elusive aliens and extraterrestrial objects so often sighted in this mysterious state. Travellers can start their celestial adventure 147 miles north of Las Vegas on the Extraterrestrial Highway (Highway 375) in Sand Spring Valley. 


Rachel, the UFO Capital of the World

Located along the Extraterrestrial Highway, approximately 150 miles north of Las Vegas, this small town with just 100 inhabitants is a regular location for fans of UFO's stopping over to learn about the peculiar Air Force testing facility.


The Black Mailbox Nevada State Route 375

Go on a hunt to find the Black Mailbox (now painted white), where aliens are said to deliver correspondence with the locals, before setting camp for the night and gazing into one of the darkest night skies in the United States, for a glimpse of extraterrestrial life...


Area 51 Exists

The mysterious former nuclear testing facility, Area 51 is located in the heart of the Nevada desert and for the first time last year was publically recognized by the CIA when documents were released acknowledging the site.

Check Top 5 Places To See In Tel Aviv

Leave a Comment
There has been a settlement present in this particular part of the Mediterranean coast for over four thousand years, although Tel Aviv itself was first founded in 1909, away from the old city of Jaffa. However, over the years the small settlement continued to grow, and eventually became large enough to absorb the old city. Today Tel Aviv is the second largest city in Israel, and not only boasts a liberal atmosphere, but also a wonderful architecture, which has earned the city UNESCO recognition, and the charming nickname of the 'White City'.

1. Old Jaffa:

This historic area is reputed to be where Jonah departed in the biblical tale, and legend states that the city was built by Japheth, one of the sons of Noah after the waters receded following the Great Flood. 


2. Rothschild Boulevard:

This boulevard was one of the original areas of Tel Aviv when it was first founded in 1909, and is one of the main reasons that the city achieved UNESCO World Heritage Site status. 


3. Tel Aviv Beach:

The beaches of Tel Aviv are among the most popular attractions, with beautiful, bustling stretches of sand fronting on to pleasant and clean water which is fine for swimming. 


4. Luna Park Tel Aviv:

This is the largest theme park in Tel Aviv, and is home to a variety of different rides and amusements, with the features designed to appeal to both adults and children with a combination of rides on offer.


5. Dizengoff Street:

When it comes to shopping, the majority of places in Tel Aviv are shopping malls, but for those looking for a more traditional experience Dizengoff Street is certainly an interesting place to visit.

Caxton FX Finds Brits Waste After a Holiday

Caxton FX Finds Brits Waste over £100 Million in unused Loose Change After a Holiday

Caxton FX has found that British holiday makers waste over £100million by not reusing their loose change once they return from an international trip.

In a survey commissioned by the currency card provider, Caxton FX found that 71.9% of people bring back loose change after their holiday; with nearly 25% of all respondents bringing back between £11 and £20. 


Shockingly, 21.1% of respondents were clueless as to how much cash they would bring back after a trip, and women in particular are more likely to be unsure of how much they spent.

Using a currency card, such as Caxton FX, allows travellers to budget accordingly and reuse their spare change on their next trip. "Currency cards differ from debit or credit cards, as there are no fees for making international transactions. Travelers can load their holiday funds onto their card enabling to them to budget accordingly and travel with large amounts safely and securely." 



The survey also found a generational gap in the approach to reusing currency. It seems that youth travellers (aged between 16 and 24) are the least likely to reuse their loose change on their next holiday compared to the significantly more frugal 55+ group which saw 87.8% claim they save their cash for their next trip. www.caxtonfx.com
