I have always dreamed of living somewhere near a nice beach where it was never below 60 degrees in the winter and had nice mild summers. My DH and I are looking into the Tampa Bay area of central Florida ... we have friends there and they say the whether is wonderful ... they never need a jacket and usually wear shorts and sandals most of the year. I just think that would be great.
My fav times of year are Spring and early Fall ... although lately, I like winter so I can cover up all my fatness ;) But I am working on that :wink:

Anywhere in the world. I would love to live in London England. I was there for 2 weeks in October of 2003. It was the best. There is so much happening, so much to see, and the atmosphere was awsome. I am such an art junky that i was in my own little heaven there. Everything was beatiful, it was so easy to get arround because of the tube lines, the markets where awsome!
Anywhere thats more realistic for us. Vancouver, Seattle, or northern California. I adore the west coast. It is so beautiful. There isn't alot of snow in Vancouver, lots of rain. But i don't mind that. I want a big house that had a veiw of the ocean on one side and a view of the mountains on the other. With a room with big picture windows on both sides that could be my painting studio.
Thats where i dream of living. Maybe one day i can retire there.

Hmmmmmmm? Im very really thought about it. I guess I would like to live next to a beach in a "no hurricane" zone, but it would still have to be in Texas. My accent is tooooo strong.

OK I would move back to the DC area in a heartbeat. If I coulnd't be right in downtown I would settle from Northern VA. I miss living there but I know that Sean would never leave "da' burg". I would also get back into more political work there too. Otherwise, I would have to say Paris. I love it there. When I retire whether Sean wants to or not we are heading to one of those places.

Lacey, do you have a criminal record we don't know about? :) Just kidding.
Ok, this may sound crazy, but I'd love to move back to the UP. I LOVE the winter and the spring is SO much more glorious and appreciated when the winter is two hundred times harder. My only problem is I don't like black flies and I can't see paying someone to shovel our snow. But other than that...I would move there in a HEARTBEAT. I like the small town-ness and I LOVE Lake Superior...it's kind of got an eerie feel to it.
I've thought about moving back the DC area too. I'd like to get into the Smithsonian circuit, but I'd rather it be in a smaller museum rather than the big ones in the city, so I'll probably stay right where I'm at. Unless a position comes up at Whitefish Point...lol.

No! I need to get back into political work so that I can eventually get into Congress or the Senate so that I can committ the dirty crimes and have someone cover them up for me. Has the Kennedy Clan taught you people nothing! After a few years of that, I am going to take my "gifts" that lobbyist and business owners gave me "no strings attached" and retire comfortable to a neighborhood in the Latin Quarter of Paris where I sip coffee on the banks of the Seine while patting myself on the back for a job well done.

I would love to move to Hawaii! We went there for our honey moon and although it was a tad bit dirty, we still loved it there! And to be honest in my hubby's chosen profession we might just get the chance to live there for a few months out of the year!! Yay!! I can have a summer home in Canada and a winter one in Hawaii!! I am so set for life!!
The only other place that I would love to live is right here in Canada...much closer to the rocky mountains...where we can have a ranch with horses and dogs and just be out in the country. Yes, that is actually my ideal place to live...out where no one can find us! Where you hear the coyotes howl and the moose wander into your back yard on their own free will.

[FONT="Book Antiqua"]I would have to say that i would like to stay in Canada. I don't really have anything else to compare to. I think some where warm, tropical would be really nice too. I have only been to Las Vegas a couple of times. We are heading to Mexico for our honeymoon. I would agree with Canadianbride... I would live in the mountains.That's my favorite place to be. I don't think i could give up the winters. I love the snow.

I would have to say that I would move to West Virginia for one reason. My FH is from there and he moved up here for me. I couldn't go there because the kids dad is here and as a mom I have sacraficed part ofmy life to make sure they have their dad. He is a big part of their life and I would never take them from that. I grew up without a dad and always wanted to be a daddy's girl. My daighter is and my ex takes them every day he is not working. If he was not in their life I would move in a heart beat. I have lived 7 hours away from my family for over 10 yrs now. I am used to it. He left his family to be with me and my kids. I would go back with him if I could, for him. As for wanting to live some where "different" I have never realy cared to be any where else. I love New England.

Take it from a West Virignia girl. There is nothing better than those mountains, rivers, and spirits of the people. Where is your FH from.

Beckley is way on down there in the state. I don't think I coul dhave been further away from Beckley. But I have been there several times. It is lovely there and through the mountians of state and into the Eastern Panhandle.
Hi Ladies. I live in the most southern region of Ontario. The winters are too cold and the summers are too hot! If I could live anywhere, I think that I would move to Las Vegas!!!! Never been there during their winter, but the summers are hot (no humidity). Providing I win the lottery, which I play every week, and win nothing, that's where I would be off to! :)

Las Veags ladies...warm, sunny, no major geological plates, mountains to break up storm fronts, and no large bodies of water to form hurricanes.
