Title: If you could live in any town in the world....where Post by: Jules on March 16, 2007, 08:27:07 PM would you live. This is just pure fantasy, as you dream job would be there, and your loved ones would be there as well.
Title: Re: If you could live in any town in the world....where Post by: ForeDucks on March 16, 2007, 08:36:16 PM Well, this isn't very "worldly".... but when I retire in about 5 years we're moving to NW Arkansas, USA. I can't tell you which house but I can just about tell you which street with the 14th fairway running past the back yard. :D And a nice view of Table Rock Lake.

Title: Re: If you could live in any town in the world....where Post by: Uisce Beatha on March 16, 2007, 08:42:58 PM Carmel wouldn't suck. But...
I'm gonna have a home in Brittas Bay (http://homepage.eircom.net/~brittasbay/) some day. I assume your rules allow for a membership at the club of your choice. ;) Title: Re: If you could live in any town in the world....where Post by: Jules on March 16, 2007, 08:46:08 PM Very nice Uisce.........Of course you get golf club membership!!! ;D ;D
Title: Re: If you could live in any town in the world....where Post by: dystopia on March 16, 2007, 09:44:38 PM I'd pick the big island of Hawaii.
Title: Re: If you could live in any town in the world....where Post by: stegerman on March 17, 2007, 07:21:39 AM Maybe it's pathetic, but I'm picking right where I live Boysee, Ideeho. 1.5 acres10 minutes from downtown and 1 hour in any directions gets you whatever outdoor activity you choose. Maybe a second home in Santa Fe for winter getaways/golf.
Title: Re: If you could live in any town in the world....where Post by: stroh on March 17, 2007, 07:37:56 AM Hard to pick a place I've never been.
I think I would like Vegas. Maybe moving back home to Jacksonville. Title: Re: If you could live in any town in the world....where Post by: Fuzzy on March 17, 2007, 07:46:48 AM This is tough and I agree with stroh. Hard to pick somewhere you've never been but...
Definitely somewhere away from the cold in the winter. I think I've seen enough snow and ice in my lifetime. I'd love to live in a foreign country for a while....New Zealand, Australia, maybe somewhere in Europe. One thing's for sure, when I'm retired my wife wants to travel a lot. So maybe I'll run across my fantasy place to live then. Title: Re: If you could live in any town in the world....where Post by: Seamus on March 17, 2007, 08:13:02 AM I kind of like it here.
The mountains are one hour to my east, the desert is one hour past that. The Pacific ocean is one hour to my west, Japan, juuuuuuuust a bit further, several rivers and valleys to meander down and wander through, the air is clean, the people friendly, the golf is acceptable, better learn to play out of trees though. Seattle always takes knock for rain but the last time I checked we were just about in the middle of the 50 states as far as yearly average. If I had the money I would travel, there's a few states I haven't seen, brother Stroh's is one of 'em I'd love to see Minnesota in the winter, haven't been to New York yet, or Chicago. Bein' in the military I had a chance to see a good chunk of western Europe, haven't been to Scotland or Ireland, some day, China, Australia gotta pay my respects to Bon Scott, thank him for providing the soundtrack to my life for awhile. But you know what? Boeing brought us here and I guess I kind of like it here. Title: Re: If you could live in any town in the world....where Post by: spacey on March 17, 2007, 08:14:25 AM Honestly, while there are many places I'd still like to visit, I pretty much already live where I want to. This is home.
If I had to move, other places I'd consider would be Boise, Eugene, Boulder, Big Sky. We considered Denver a few years back, but they hate our dog. Title: Re: If you could live in any town in the world....where Post by: Aske on March 17, 2007, 08:23:15 AM hard to say ... already lived in some great places, visited some great places, and have lots more places to see

Title: Re: If you could live in any town in the world....where Post by: E-A-G-L-E! on March 17, 2007, 02:21:16 PM Oh, I don't know. I like Minnesota. I think Minnesota would still be home, but I wouldn't mind traveling all over the world.
Title: Re: If you could live in any town in the world....where Post by: Salamander on March 18, 2007, 06:42:54 AM I couldn't live in only one. Of course, back home (Piraeus, Greece) strikes first. But I wouldn't mind any other European city that people wouldn't give me much *feces* for only speaking Greek and English ;)
Title: Re: If you could live in any town in the world....where Post by: Torpedo on March 18, 2007, 01:29:21 PM Oh, I don't know. I like Minnesota. I think Minnesota would still be home, but I wouldn't mind traveling all over the world. Same here. :) Title: Re: If you could live in any town in the world....where Post by: Fuzzy on March 18, 2007, 03:25:09 PM Oh, I don't know. I like Minnesota.

Like Livorno, but not exactly. Title: Re: If you could live in any town in the world....where Post by: Walfredo on March 19, 2007, 06:53:06 AM A house on the NW side of Maui near the Kapalua Plantation would be ideal.

Same here. :) I'm shocked. ;) I'm always shocked when we agree. :D ;) Title: Re: If you could live in any town in the world....where Post by: golfer ray on March 20, 2007, 08:07:47 PM I love Oklahoma. Mild winters, and summers aren't usually too hot, but recently they've been a little warmer. If I were to move, I would probably pick somewhere along the same latitude, such as Arkansas or Tennessee. The times I've been through Tennessee, I've always been impressed with the beauty of the state and the people. I guess another state I would like is Arizona. When the Murrah bombing occurred in in OKC in '95, Phoenix firefighters came in for the rescue and clean up. I ran into a few of them at a local golf course, and I didn't know what to say as to me these guys were heroes to me. Then one of them turns around to me and thanks me as a representative of the state of Oklahoma for being so hospitable to them. I was in total shock, and told him it should be us thanking them. So Arizona or Tennessee would be my choices.
