Guest guest Posted January 29, 2008 Report Share Posted January 29, 2008 I read everyone's lists. How exciting! I can't say that I am that adventurous. I've lived in Texas (when I was young) and loved it there. We lived in Pasadena. My sister later moved near Austin and I visited her there, which was also very nice. But, otherwise, I have always lived in the country. I am a farm-girl. I love the land, the animals, the work involved in all of it, and my favorite place to be is on my front porch (in good old West Virginia)! Our views are spectacular. I don't consider Ohio my home, even though I was raised here too. But the places I dream of visiting include: Florida - anywhere near a beach California - anywhere near a beach Alaska - to see the sites Alabama - to see my family New York City on New Year's Eve Cape May, NJ - at the beach Hawaii - anywhere (cuz there's beaches everywhere!) Outer Banks, NC - the beaches again Georgia - Tybee Island and the beach And, I would like to hop on that bus that is touring the world to see all of the air family from this board. Of course, if I could cross the ponds, Australia would be on the top of my list, then Brazil - and the beaches! Did I mention I love the beach?

Guest guest Posted January 29, 2008 Report Share Posted January 29, 2008 Tina Do you like beaches? Did you just toss in Alaska to throw us off track or did you mean the coast of Alaska? New York yes. On New Year's Eve, I stayed right in my apartment and watched on TV. I thought the crowd looked scary on TV until I just saw it starting to gather in real. > > > > > > Bruce, > > > Ooh, what bliss to imagine.

Guest guest Posted January 29, 2008 Report Share Posted January 29, 2008 Now you're getting RISKY BWBB or should I say RISQUE! You'll have to translate where some of these places are for me in the US of A: 1. Appalachian mountains 2. Wild Oregon Coastline 3. New England 'somewhere' (where its 'classic') 4. Does Alaska count 'cos of course I'd want to go there & visit AJ & see whales, Polar Bears for real etc etc 5. Wherever is central enough for ALL of us to get together! in Oz > >> > Bruce,> > Ooh, what bliss to imagine. It's hard for me not to want> > to jump the pond, but I'll try.

Guest guest Posted January 30, 2008 Report Share Posted January 30, 2008 Translation for 1. Mountain range near the east coast and depending on definition technically runs from Alabama (way south) all the way up to Canada. Probably most associated with North Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia, West Virginia. Everything associated with them from Hillbillies and backwoods to the most stunning scenery including highest range east of the Mississippi River. 2. Oregon is also extremely beautiful, partly due to so much rain. The coastline is not as developed and let so much more natural than the California coastline south of Oregon. 3. New England is that group of states in the far Northeast. Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Connecticut, Massachusetts, and Rhode Island. Some large cities like Boston and Providence and Connecticut is now pretty much a New York suburb, but a special nature to most of it, very old area for the US, and lots of beautiful scenery as well with mountains and heavy woods. 4. Alaska counts as you don't have to cross water, just cut through Canada. 5. Central. Technically the geographic center of the contiguous 48 states (excluding Alaska and Hawaii) is near Lebanon, KS. So, cities like Kansas City and St. Louis would be relatively centered. (If you throw in Alaska and Hawaii its way north and near Rugby, North Dakota). Based on accessibility, especially if by Air, the most commonly chosen Central Points are Chicago and Dallas, Chicago to the north of Center and Dallas to the South. I know it wouldn't be traveling for Leanne, but actually with a gathering this time in San (274 miles south of Dallas), Chicago might not be a bad choice in the future. If most people were driving, St. Louis would also be ok. (Airwise, St. Louis would generally require an extra connecting flight). I can't wait to actually put together some sort of map with all of us located. We could also plan ahead a couple of events and have one on the East Coast and one on the West Coast. That would preclude most people from attending both but would allow almost everyone to attend one. Memphis, not exciting except for home of Elvis, and Nashville, home of country music, are both worth considering but Chattanooga has been done in that area. Las Vegas is exciting but not non-smoking friendly. New York City is incredible, but outrageously expensive. So, my personal leaning would be Chicago or two, one on West coast and one on East. But, I'm coming wherever it is so doesn't much matter to me. > > > > > > Bruce, > > > Ooh, what bliss to imagine. It's hard for me not to want > > > to jump the pond, but I'll try.

Guest guest Posted January 30, 2008 Report Share Posted January 30, 2008 Wasn't on her requested translations. But, do understand I lived on the Tennessee River in Chattanooga, only minutes from you, and the view of the river at my doorstep and mountains all around me. What a beautiful area. Oh, if talking about Appalachian, the NW Georgia mountains are, of course, part of that whole string. There are so many varied and beautiful areas within this country, all with their special charms and more attractive to one of us than others. I've lived in several areas of NC, in Chattanooga, in Mississippi, in New York City, in South Florida and in Dallas/Fort Worth. Except for the delta of Mississippi which I couldn't describe as a tourist site, I could show one endless enjoyable activities and places in any of them, all quite different. > > > > > > > > > > Bruce, > > > > > Ooh, what bliss to imagine.

Guest guest Posted January 30, 2008 Report Share Posted January 30, 2008 Disneyworld keeps coming up....do I see a group outing there sometime in the future. It's very friendly to us as I did a lot of checking preparing for the March trip there I was going to make before the spring break news. At the entrance to each park you get a pass that allows you to bypass all lines. Also, the value resort hotels are quite nice or some incredible deals on condos nearby. And, if you feel the need for a scooter, Disneyworld themselves have limited quantities but there is an entire industry around there in supplying them on daily or weekly basis. > > > > > > > > > > > > Bruce, > > > > > > Ooh, what bliss to imagine.
