Born and raised in Pittsburgh, Pa, after marrying moved to Orlando, Fl, then Dallas,Tx, back to Pgh, then to southfield, MI, then we decided we'd had enough of cold weather and snow after living in South and west for so long and moved back to Maitland,Fl, a suburb of Orlando. And fortunately home to an international airport !!

Like Capo, born and raised in St. Paul, Minnesota. Interesting info about MN Capo! <BR> <BR>I spent one year in Spain during college and spent three years in the Dominican Republic before moving to New York City.

Ahhhhhhhhhh Capo -- but you didn't mention the MN "state bird":)

I didn't realize how many non_americans were on this board. Very very cool. Born in western Mass, grew up in Hawaii and have lived here in Portland, OR for about 20 years. <BR> <BR>great string mimi <BR>Amy

This is much more of a multi-cultural group than I had thought, and so much the better! <BR> <BR>I'm in Alexandria, VA, 9-10 months of the year, and the rest in the Dordogne. Hoping to reverse that equation in the not too distant future.

Hi Mimi, I was born in a small town in Leicestershire but now live, (and have done for the past 30 years), in Hampshire about eight miles from Winchester and close to the New Forest, a lovely part of England.

Born and raised in rural Huntingdon, Pa., school and work in Lancaster, Pa, New York City, married, school and work in Philly, then to Danville, Pa., Virginia Beach, Va. and now back to central Pa. Judy

Mimi, great post!! I posted something similar a few months back called: "What do you do for a living and how much vacation/holiday time do you get?" I also got some great replies. As for me.., born and raised in Philadelphia, PA. Moved around to Orlando, FL, San Francisco, CA, New York, NY and now back in Philadelphia, PA. Funny how we end up back where we started a lot of times.

Danny, not all of us move back. I wouldn't move back to the western NY area for anything in the world. Beautiful in spring, summer and fall, but they can keep that snow and cold in winter! :-0

Born in Michigan (lots of us out there, eh?) <BR> <BR>Spent time (from six months to years and years) in: <BR> <BR>Tennesee <BR>Eugene, OR (Go Ducks!) <BR>France (Paris and near Lyon) <BR>Massachusetts <BR>Durham, UK <BR>Oxford, UK <BR>Chicago <BR>New York (LI) <BR> <BR>Am now in Washington, D.C. <BR> <BR>I wish, wish, wish that I could go back to the UK (not forever, just 10 years or so)...but work permits are few and far between! <BR>

Born & raised in Chicago---where else?

Born and raised in Smithtown, NY. Spent four years in Pittsburgh. the last 13 in Ventura, California.

Born in Denver, Colorado. Lived in Mt. Clemens, Michigan, for a year and now live in the San Francisco Bay Area. <BR> <BR>Would love to live in Sorrento. <BR> <BR>Deborah and Capo is it true there are two seasons in Minneapolis/St. Paul: winter and road construction? <BR> <BR>J

<BR>I live in Fairview Heights in southwestern Illinois, about 15 miles from St. Louis. When I travel I always say I'm from St. Louis, because if you mention Illinois, everyone assumes you live near Chicago (it's 260 miles from me). I've been to London more times than I've been to Chicago!

Joanne, <BR>No, that's Michigan! (We're in "orange barrel", or non-construction season right now!) <BR>BC

Hi Cindy, StCirq, and ALW--We're practically neighbors,living in--or just outside of--D.C. Hope to meet you at one of Monica's "D.C. Fodorites" get-togethers, either this month or later this fall.

Nancy: <BR> <BR>What are Monica's DC get-togethers? Never heard of them, but would love to meet you all. Wendy's in DC, too, and she's a lot of fun! <BR> <BR>

JOdy: You are a "neighbor". I live in Downtown Orlando and my office in on Park Avenue in Winter Park (or as the locals pronounce it...Wintah Pah-k) <BR> <BR>Born in Ohio, like the majority of people who live in Florida.

hi, you all. <BR>I have lived since I was born some years ago in Sevilla, Spain.

Born in providence, RI. Live in Newton, Mass (Boston suburb)
