Storm Bay Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 Far too many villages, towns & cities to mention, so I'll stick to countries/provinces which is a far shorter list. Canada: BC, SK, ON Germany USA: CA KS OH MA and, if six weeks qualifies as living somewhere (I was staying with relatives), Alaska. And, of course, travelling adds provinces, states & countries, but I'm not a globe trotter, just UK, various European countries (the latter when I lived there), Mexico. If I could just up and live somewhere else, I'd live in either Iceland or Australia. Yeah, lots in common there, eh? (for those who don't know eh is pronounced like a long a. Do you know that while I grew up saying it, as a kid I never realized it was spelled eh.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pam "SFSOM" in TN Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 Cumberland Plateau here, too, different little town down the road from Regena.

And as the 4 y/o dd would say, "And here I am!" I'd love to live in Charlottesville or Greenville again. Probably will end up back up the mountain on the Plateau, though.

AND...we are moving again this fall...hopefully to No. CA. Here is my list...Iowa, Michigan, Tennessee, Kansas, and Washington State. My favorite place by far has been WA. Love the NW.

When did you live there? We were there in 1979. We lived in an apartment on Route De VeyVey right by the park on Lac Lemann at the end of the bus line. I was 9 yrs old. There used to be an elementary school right there that I went too. I love Switzerland and I hope to go back with my family someday.

nukeswife Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 I was born and raised near Milwaukee WI, Then I met a Sailor and we were married in Newport RI, then we went to Bremerton WA, then off to Virginia Beach VA, then to Mayport FL. Then back to Newport RI, then he went off to Bremerton WA and I moved with the kids to Muskego WI (he was going to be on deployment and the ship was not returning to WA) then we went back to Virginia Beach VA, then to Mayport FL, and now we're in Chesapeake VA. This has all happened since we married in 1997. We should be getting new orders again in mid 2009, we're hoping he'll just transfer to a new command here in VA but who knows what the Navy will have up their sleeve for us. In 7 years he'll retire and we're planning to buy a ranch in Oklahoma or Texas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
