Idaho: the “Potato State” deserves a better nickname. It should also have far more British visitors, for its spectacular landscapes and friendly, diverse people. They include, in the state capital Boise, a large Basque-American population descended from shepherds from northern Spain and southwest France.
With just two million people in a state almost exactly the size of Britain, direct flights to Boise are not viable. But there are plenty of connecting possibilities. And that is the concern of Belinda Stebbings. She contacted me after I wrote about the basics of international connections (specifically in Dubai) because she has a slightly different issue.
