Someone on the US forum started a thread, so I thought I'd bring this one up again for our new posters to get to know us and to see if many are still here.
Some have changed the names when registration was required.

Wow! This thread has been going for almost three years!
I was born and raised in Northampton, Massachusetts. I've lived all around the U.S., and am now in Warren, MA. I would love to move back to Virginia someday though!

This thread has been gone for a while - I think I posted early but in checking I noticed that many - MANY - people had lived in many places. Not everyone says at what point in their lives they did the moving, but I'd be interested in knowing if moving frequently as a child results (as it did with me) in a need to be always on the lam or if anyone can get the bug and then move themselves around as adults. Just musing. And I just left Gainesville (the swamp) for sunny Jupiter (the town, the town, not the planet!) in Palm Beach County, Florida. Oh, it is so loverly. That makes about 20 places I've lived from San Diego to DC to Miami to Mississippi and back. Whew - are we all tired yet? Nah!

Born in Montreal, took my first trip to Europe by boat in 1953 at the age of two. My mother from Cheshire married a french Canadian, big mistake.
Left him for 2 months with my 2 brothers and me,went England until he agreed to move to California. Lived in San Diego since 1960 and both my parents too. Really want an old house in France.

I can't believe I read the W-H-O-L-E thing! I was born in West Virginia, left there after college to teach in northern Virginia (D.C. area.) Then lived in L.A. area for many years and now am in Bend, Oregon. (But my heart is always on vacation somewhere in Europe.) My body only gets to go once a year.

Hello everyone,
Born and live in Johannesburg, South Africa.

indytravel May 26th, 2004 09:35 AM


Born, reared and lived all my life in the Indianapolis, Indiana area except for 3 years in Chicago.

Through extended work engagements I've spent 5 years divided between smaller Illinois & Indiana cities: Peoria, Decatur, Evansville, South Bend but always made it home for the weekends. I also spent three months in Trois Rivière, Quebec.

For Shanna I guess staying in one place so long has given me the travel bug. I didn't live outside of Indiana for work or university (West Lafayette, IN) until I was almost 30.

NJgirl626 May 26th, 2004 09:48 AM

Born in Claremont, CA. Grew up in San Diego. Went to college in Nashville. The lived in new orleans, and San Diego again. Now in Bergen County, NJ. Am a newbie to this site and wish someone would explain the term "topping" and ttt, for that matter.

Europe!!

RebeccaM May 26th, 2004 01:34 PM

In beautiful, rural Columbia County, New York, near the Berkshires in Massachusetts. This is the most wonderful time of year here - lush, air fresh, spirea blooming, and I feel so lucky to live here. Yet we're going to Europe in June for two weeks! Can't help it. It seems that people come and go on this board, so it would be great to hear from current posters where they live.

BrimhamRocks May 26th, 2004 02:35 PM

NJgirl626, "ttt" is short for "to the top". You could type any old thing, not just "ttt" or "topping". Whatever you type, the message will be sent to the top.
