I was born in Charlotte, NC, lived very short time in NYC, grew up in Bergen County, NJ, lived in Tucson, Arizona; Ft. Lauderdale, Florida; Centralia, Illinois (among the corn, soy and sorgum fields); (short time)Gaithersburg, Maryland; and ended up in North Florida for the past 11 years. I love to travel, but when I have to be home at least I feel like I live in a vacationland :)

Laura Oct 8th, 2001 08:37 PM

I grew up in Eugene, Or. Moved to San Diego, Ca. as a teenager and lived 3 years in Hawaii as a young newlywed. I now live back in San Diego. Would love to live overseas if I ever get the chance. I have only been to Europe twice so far and have loved every minute of it.

Born and raised in Michigan. Eight years ago made the big move to Nevada. The beauty of our desert and mountains still takes my breath away. I miss the beautiful lakes of Michigan but San Diego and the blue Pacific only an hour flight away!

Noona Oct 12th, 2001 04:15 PM

Thanks for reviving this. I looked for it last week, and it is so comforting to hear from our posters abroad. Living in New Hamshire, one can feel isolated at times.I have never been out of the country, so I like knowing that so many of you are from another country.

Carlos Oct 12th, 2001 04:28 PM

Greetings everyone from Portugal, where we send our prayers for all the nice people of your country. We are peaceful here and have a beautiful country. We hope you one day to visit us.

I live on the Long Beach peninsula of Washington state. <BR>I lived in Park City many years ago Lucky. When the mines had closed and you could have bought the whole place for a song. Wish my dad and mother had done just that!

Here in Maine I am so pleased to hear all the kind words from our posters in other countries. And you here ,come see the foliage, it is beautiful.

topper Oct 15th, 2001 07:38 AM

Jeff Oct 15th, 2001 08:31 AM

What is with all this new scare there. We have our first white powder scare in a church. We were evacated.

bostonian Oct 15th, 2001 08:39 AM

Jeff, I am here in New England, Boston and I heard on the news a few minutes ago, one of the city hall staff received some anthrax in the mail. It is really getting scary. Keep us posted if you have more incidents.

Ursula Oct 20th, 2001 01:00 PM

I go to art school her in Providence, R.I. Almost did not come. Thought it might be too provencial for me. Was I ever wrong. It jumps. So many great restaurants and shops. Before you had to go into Boston. Now, we have it all.

frances figueroa Oct 24th, 2001 01:34 PM

i was born in Guatemala, and still live there.

Caroline Oct 24th, 2001 11:56 PM

I was born in Guernsey, second largest of the British Channel Islands, and lived there most of my 28 years. I went to university in England and Germany, then moved to London three years ago. My family still lives in Guernsey and I plan to go back one day too, when I'm sick of life in the fast lane. I'm obviously biased, but the Channel Islands are a really cool place. They even named New Jersey after the biggest of our islands. We have our own language (Norman French, although only the old people still speak it), our own governments, and all sorts of other cool stuff. We also had the dubious distinction of being the only British territory occupied during the Second World War. If anyone wants to know more about Guernsey/Jersey/Alderney/Sark etc - great holiday destination if you're headed to UK or France anyway - let me know and I will be glad to share. I could go on forever about the pleasures of my island. And no, I am not a tourism rep. <BR> <BR>Caroline <BR>xx

animal lover Oct 25th, 2001 06:15 AM

Gerald Durrel started a zoo on Jersey. <BR>Is it still there and is it nice <BR>Sorry, reference to Caroline's post.

Chrissy Nov 17th, 2001 06:02 PM

Born in Trumbull, CT. Raised and schooled in CT. Moved to Hingham, MA (suburb south of Boston) 2 1/2 years ago. Fascinating, huh? I like to travel, don't like to move, and love the Northeast.

Elsa Nov 17th, 2001 06:04 PM

Grew up in Swampscott, MA just north of Boston on the Atlantic coastline. Now live slightly inland in Lynnfield, but have a townhouse in Marblehead. That's the birth place of the American Navy, as well as the sailing capital of the world (supposedly). Marblehead and M'head harbor would be a great daytrip for any of you visiting the Boston area - especially in the summer when all the boats are in the water. It also has an "old town" area with many historic homes that are still well maintained, as well as some "cute" shops.

Betty Nov 17th, 2001 06:40 PM

Born in Kaohsiung, Taiwan. Grew up and currently live in Chicago, IL, USA.
