Welcome to all of you who have added to this thread and we hope to read of your adventures.

Matroskin. I looked at your photos of Paris and of your lovely family.
It's late here, I'll enjoy the rest another day.

Almost six years and we're still answering mimi's question! I was born in Glendale, Ca., then to Thousand Oaks, CA and on to Palos Verdes Peninsula, CA, Six yrs. ago moved to beautiful northwest Washington state. Love travel and have visited most of U.S., Germany,Austria,France Switzerland, Italy and Great Britain and Mexico. Favorite is Italy. Would return in a heartbeat!!

Okay....This thing needs to be topped to start the new year.

I was born in Denver and grew up in Phoenix. I've lived in Butzbach Germany, Redondo Beach CA, Honolulu and San Diego. I am currently living in Phoenix, BUT giving mild thought about moving to Costa Rica for awhile. The only thing that I know for sure is that I'll always eventually come back to Arizona.((D))8-)

Born in Jersey
Raised in Texas
Now live in Minnestoa.

Love to travel!!!!!!!!!

Greater Sacramento area (on the way to Lake Tahoe). I've lived in Northern California my whole life except for a semester in London.

It's hard to believe this has been going on since 2001!

Born in Florida (yup, an actual native), lived 8 years in Germany (not all consecutively) and elsewhere, now my body lives in the Florida panhandle on the Redneck Riviera but my heart is still in Europe.

Another Florida native...

born in Orlando, moved around for 12 years as an Air Force brat, and have been living back in Florida since 1977.

PS: Reading this thread is like reading six years of history, especially the dates surrounding 9/11. Thanks for topping it.

Just saw this old thread, so I guess I will join in:

I was born in Michigan but lived all over the U.S. including many years bi-coastal between NYC and LA, but spent the last decade or so in Santa Cruz, Ca near family which feels like home...sort of.

I guess we are homeless. ;) Actually it feels more like everywhere is our home as we take our home with us where ever we go and we are loving the freedom of this lifestyle.

We are permanent travelers, so do not live anywhere, although we are wintering in Spain for the our second winter, so it feels like our home away from home now.

We are 16 months into our open ended , multi year trip around the world and loving it thus far:

Hi Mimi,

What an amazing thread since 2001! I have a suggestion....do you want to post a link to this thread in each site because it is only found in Europe; perhaps post an announcement in the Lounge, U.S., Asia, etc. Many do not know of it; I only happened upon it by accident after being here a year!

As for me:
-Born in Burma
-grew up in Columbus, Ohio
-schooled in Baltimore 1978-1987
-finished training in Boston 87-89
-now live in San diego and second home in Park City.

I have traveled everywhere but more to Europe than anywhere else. To the poster from Sintra.... I have been there! fantastic memories, great people.

Hi Ncounty, feel free to post this there. I wish we had met when you were here in Boston. What a special life you have.

Mimi,

Let's meet anyway! I would love to come to Boston and have a GTG. I don't know who else is in Boston, maybe Escargot? I love Boston and am way overdue for a return visit.

ncounty, the Boston GTG is October 11. Please come. It's a great group!

Probably I have already answer Mimi post.Ciao Bella..

Born and raised in Rome,my siblings, my older kids and I ,had the honour to be baptized at San Giovanni In Laterano( Saint John Basilica).
Left my country at the age of 20 and since then I followed my American husband around the Globe.

Lived in many interesting foreign countries, had a great time living in Taipei, just loved living there,, and also spent 4 years in beautiful Honolulu.

Now that my hubby retired from the AF, we are settled in sunny Texas.

Wow, ncounty, I never saw this thread since I don't read the Europe posts. 2001...that's a vintage thread for sure.

I'm USA born and recently moved from Youngstown, OH to Cocoa Beach, FL.

I missed all the wind and water from Fay as I was traveling around the state all that week avoiding it lol.

I am from Virginia and have lived here most of my life.

I spent my childhood in Richmond, VA and currently live just outside of Richmond.

And I love being a Virginian.

What has this pointless thread got to do with travel?
