boosted98gst Posted July 29, 2009 Report Share Posted July 29, 2009 Wyoming somewhere http://jacksonhole.locale.com/media/galleries/jackson+wy/regions/surrounding+wyoming+real+estate/wyoming_ranch_real_estate.jpg I've actually looked at buying land there a few times, but it;s just such a pain in the ass to get there and back. This is so crazy my dad tried to do the same thing when he retired from the marine core, He wanted a log cabin out on a peice of land in wyoming. I spent many months there fishing in wyoming I loved it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

copperhead Posted July 29, 2009 Report Share Posted July 29, 2009 Where, and why. I am thinking of wandering off, and looking for a cool place to end up. I'd move to your place, given the chance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HAOLE Posted July 29, 2009 Report Share Posted July 29, 2009 Lived there when I was 18 and have missed it ever since. I make a trip there almost every year. The whole attitude of "why do today what you can do tomorrow" is great. I would love to raise my kids were shoes are optional and tans are required. I remember going to makapu beach every night after work and boogie boarding, good times. The night life is great. Rainbow plate lunch still makes my mouth water. http://www.citypictures.org/data/media/68/honolulu_havadan.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akula Posted July 29, 2009 Report Share Posted July 29, 2009 Probably around Mystic/Niantic CT. * Feels like home * Sea Air * Cool Weather * REAL SEAFOOD!!!! * Quiet, reserved place to relax and enjoy life http://www.planetware.com/i/photo/mystic-seaport-mystic-ct013.jpg I was stationed in Groton CT and we went to Mystic every now and then. I liked being told to "go back to the base you worthless squids". Or people asking us if there wasn't someplace we should be that wasn't bothering them. I guess Mystic residents don't like sailors. That all has probably changed post 9/11. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

verse Posted July 29, 2009 Report Share Posted July 29, 2009 It'd probably be somewhere like Toronto, ON or Minneapolis, MN. 1. It's cold most the year. 2. Lots of snow. 3. Lots of hockey. 4. Good place to raise the next Sidney Crosby. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitrousbird Posted July 30, 2009 Report Share Posted July 30, 2009 St John's Newfoundland. This place is full of history. I think it is the oldest English settlement in north America. It is a decent size and right by the ocean. The views are fucking amazing. The people in the city are nice and will walk right up and talk to you. Out of all the places I have visited I got the best vibe here. Olney England was 2nd. Also the climate is perfect for me. It is cloudy most of the time fuck being sunny. The summers are mild and the winters are not extreme like some parts of Canada. It snows and rains a lot there which I love. The crime rate is almost nothing according to wikipeida. Doesn't surprise me since the people here are super friendly. Just look at this http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/c/c0/St._John%27s_Newfoundland.jpg Howard, this is where Janet is from. She grew up there, and I've been there twice now. Beautiful area, but is very expensive. Everything costs more, yet you won't have the money making potential you would have here in Columbus even, at least anything IT related. Housing is crazy...a lot of people who own homes rent a basement apartment. Being a landlord is very lucrative there, unlike here. I fully disagree with the weather. I went there at the end of July 2007 for about 2 weeks, and had two days where the HIGH was in the mid 40's. That's a LOT cold for the height of the summer. Overall, it is much cooler than here. A lot more snow too, but people there actually know how to drive in it. Decent night life there too. Drinking is very accepted. It's a nice place to visit, though I don't know if I'd ever want to live there. As for in the US...dunno, I've only lived in Ohio. I love FL and wouldn't mind moving there. Janet loves the idea of North Carolina, as she keeps telling me "I have never met someone who didn't love living there." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMill Posted July 30, 2009 Report Share Posted July 30, 2009 Since I left Ohio, I've moved around quite a bit. Denver Memphis Dallas Western Oklahoma West Texas (abilene) And now, Anchorage If I had to move somewhere completely off the wall, I'd go to Singapore. I spent like 45 days there for work a couple years ago. It is nuts. Almost zero crime, English is the primary language, schools are great for the kiddos, Finally, the place turns into a gigantic party at night.

Fiji ST Posted July 30, 2009 Report Share Posted July 30, 2009 -Park City, Utah. Loved skiing out there and the town is just perfect. Plus it's somewhat close to Salt Lake too. -Atlanta. Can't stand the humidity, but it such an entertaining town. so much to do, and so many hot chicks. -South Spain. Was there almost 10 years ago and it was amazing. The Med. was so blue. -Fiji. Has nothing to do with my screen name, but I've seen pictures. It's so remote and picturesque that it's perfect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeitgeist57 Posted July 30, 2009 Report Share Posted July 30, 2009 Scopello, Sicily.

Rally Pat Posted July 30, 2009 Report Share Posted July 30, 2009 Japan, for sure. I love the language and culture, and would love to go there and immerse myself in it deeper. Maybe become an English teacher over there, like some people I know that have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patrick Posted July 30, 2009 Report Share Posted July 30, 2009 Somewhere with a temperate climate, small town&quiet, close to a larger city. No idea where that'd be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowflake Posted July 30, 2009 Report Share Posted July 30, 2009 Based on places Ive spent a lot of time in I would pick San Diego, Cali as my first choice. It just has everything I could ever want in a city. I like to call it heaven when I speak of it. My second choice would be Austin, Texas. As much as I hate the state of Texas, Austin is where it is at. It also has everything I need in a big city but it lands second to SD because SD is the shiznit and its on the West Coast...

FourString Posted July 30, 2009 Report Share Posted July 30, 2009 Fuck, I'll be happy if I can get my fatass back up to Columbus for right now. Eventually though, a place where the weather is nice year-round. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug1647545489 Posted July 30, 2009 Report Share Posted July 30, 2009 I was going to say San Diego as well, but there is a lot of bullshit that comes along with living in Cali. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cordell Posted July 30, 2009 Report Share Posted July 30, 2009 fuck Cali, fuck Chicago, fuck NY. I would want to be near a moderate to large city but nowhere near any of those places. Ohio is fine, but I could move farther southwest where I would get more summer. Oh yeah and fuck living in some other country. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blue98ls1 Posted July 30, 2009 Report Share Posted July 30, 2009 I would live in the Catskill mountains again. Lived there for over a year before moving to Columbus. Can't wait to go out there on vacation in a couple weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember our apt out there in carlsbad california was 2100 a month for a decent apt. Gas is expensive , propaine is expensive, insurance is expensive, To live in a half decent place and live you need to aleast make a good amount of cash.
