Hey, Margi, I'm older than you! Born in 1942 in Toronto. I've always lived here and figured I'd never leave, but am now making definite (if slightly long-term) plans to move to Victoria, BC. This is a great thread.

Margi, <BR> <BR>You are a young chick compared to some of us!!One poster is in his 80's!!

Born on the Air Force base hospital in Fort Dix, New Jersey and now live in beautiful Weston, Connecticut.

For anyone has persevered to the end of this.......I as born/bred in South west Wales.......have lived in Bermuda, Boston, MA.....met my husband-to-be and now we both live in London UK. <BR>And you are all invited to the wedding!!! <BR>

Oops....and I have just re read my message after posting it, and realised that I either can't spell or can't type. LOL. Oh well.....you can't have it all.

Margi, being born in 1947 means you are probably the AVERAGE age for people posting on this board, though I have no statistics to prove that. I, too, was born in 1947 and find that a lot of folks here are quite a bit older than me, though there are those who are younger than my children. Fodorites make up a world-wide community, from a wide variety of ages, with a wide variety of incomes. The only thing we all have in common is that we love to travel and to learn about it.

Hi Mimi, <BR>I was born in Orleans, France, moved to So. California, and went to university in Ireland where I have been ever since. A husband and two children later, we now live between Ireland (during school terms) and Andalucia the rest of the year. Just found this website and I think it is quite interesting. Some people are very seasoned travellers and offer helpful advice to others.

I live in Nova Scotia, Canada. I was born in Preston, Lancashire, England.

Born in Oakland, California and raised in the East Bay (Richmond) but for the last 5+ years I have been living in Tokyo, Japan.

I was born in Sydney, NSW, Australia and 12years ago I moved to the wonderful Whitsundays in North Queensland, ie about 3000 kilometres north

Born in Wisconsin, USA <BR>Grew up there <BR>Live in Germany now

Born and raised in Detroit. <BR>Have lived in Montreal, Ann Arbor, and Tucson (college). <BR>Now live in Albany, NY area - almost 30 yrs in one place. <BR> <BR>Thanks for a great thread, Mimi!

Born in Ireland, brought up mainly in Africa, I have lived in England, Ireland, Scotland and France. Now I live in Winchester, a lovely historical part of England, and looking for a place in France.

Hi Mim, <BR> I too love France, and live in Derry, N.H. If I may comment and that other thread, that no matter where you live, there are ignorant people but your attitude could keep them away from you.

What number is this one Mimi???? <BR> <BR>No one on the board from Las Vegas, Nevada? I was raised near Buffalo, NY, better know to sports writer's, in the '70's, as the arm pit of the East. Survived the blizzard of '77 in Rochester, NY and just had to give up that snow for sunny Vegas. <BR> <BR>I think this thread has been interesting. It seems a lot of us have done some moving, isn't that listed under travel somewhere? <BR> <BR>

Greetings Mimi, <BR> I usually live in a wooded area, here and abouts. When I vacation, I like to visit this site. When I return to the woods I can tell all my troll mates how ego, sometimes generosity, permiates the board. It makes me want to be like all of you. However, as a troll officer I must return to the woods. Remember this: the soul of a troll is to control.

I live to be free, that means I live from place to place. As of now I live in Maine near the Canadian border visting long lost family but will move on to the west coast.

Born in San Fernando, California. Lived there for 24 years. Moved to San Diego, Ca, Boston Ma, and Princeton NJ. Spent 4 years living in Bermuda. Moved to New Orleans, Louisiana and have been here 12 years. Love to travel and learn about places, history and people.

All of us living here in Europe extend our hearts to you, sharing your grief. Our churches are filled with good people lighting candles.

Born in Atlanta,grew up in GA,have lived in SC/NC/FL and my favorite-Bham,AL,,,now back in Atlanta....
