Rosie_0801 Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 I'd hit the snot out of Australia. Every major city and the Outback. Maybe we'd spend time on some remote Outback station. To get you started :D http://www.facebook.com/groups/outbackgovo/ http://www.wwoof.com.au/ If you are going to dream, dream in detail. :p You can come wwoof at our place on your way from Melbourne to the Outback. :) Rosie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right?:tongue_smilie: Rosie, you and I together would likely be cause for some sort of reality show. I went to the outback the week before last. :auto: Wwoofing can be pretty good. My aunt went on a wwoofing holiday up to Queensland for a month and only spent a thousand dollars, which, considering her ute runs on diesel which is horribly expensive, is pretty darn good. Our wwoofers tend not to stay long. For some reason we usually get cute Asian girls in black skinny jeans who freak out a bit at not having an ensuite. We did have an American bloke who spent his whole six weeks in the country here. He'd been in Oz before, so I guess this time he was looking for the personal experience. Come on over some time. You can give my dd reading lessons while I lay about reading novels and eating Tim Tams, your hubby can build my aunt a chook house and the kids can run around getting grotty. It'll be great. :D Edited November 9, 2012 by Rosie_0801 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lailasmum Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 (edited) I would leave the UK. I want to live somewhere it doesn't rain heavily 11 months of the year, I am fed up with horrible British weather. Somewhere that has proper seasons but a relatively short winter and beautiful countryside. I don't know where that would be though. Maybe New Zealand, my neighbours mooved there a few years ago and my dh has relatives out there. Though I don't really know if it would line up with my weather requirements.

lea_lpz Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 Maine or Montana. I want to live somewhere far less populated, with big wide spaces, and seasons. Wait a second, really I can't complain. I happen to live in one of the most beautiful places in the world as far as I am concerned and am still centrally located. Close to to the city, close to Big Sur, Monterey, but I live in a moderate size town, so I still get the slow small town feel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bearcat Posted November 10, 2012 Share Posted November 10, 2012 We would travel all over the country in an RV with a home base in the mountains of North Carolina. I love the Blowing Rock/Boone/Linville, North Carolina area. And if we really want to complete my fantasy we would have a small home somewhere in the Lakes District in England that we stayed at for a few months each year.

Maybe New Zealand, my neighbours mooved there a few years ago and my dh has relatives out there. Though I don't really know if it would line up with my weather requirements. We have short winters! And seasons: summer, summer, wildfire season, summer, summer, cedar allergy season, spring floods, back to summer. The rain is very much like the UK's, except eleven months' worth all comes down in a few days. And if you're lucky, freak hailstorms and tornados! Not dull.

Corraleno Posted November 10, 2012 Share Posted November 10, 2012 I would leave the UK. I want to live somewhere it doesn't rain heavily 11 months of the year, I am fed up with horrible British weather. :iagree::iagree::iagree: I think it's funny that so many people are saying they'd move to the UK! I spent 10 years in a little hamlet on the Norfolk/Suffolk border, with a river in front of the house and miles of farmland behind it. That probably sounds idyllic — and it did to me for, oh, the first 2 months we were there. We moved there in the summer; by midwinter, when it seemed to rain for 2 months straight, and even a "sunny" day was equivalent to about 6 hours of dusk, I was ready to throw myself in the river. After 10 looooong years, when we finally turned over the keys to the new victims... oops, I mean owners, I opened a bottle of champagne! We also had a 220 yo stone farmhouse in the Dordogne, SW France, and I would go back there in a heartbeat. That was by far my favorite place I've ever lived, even though it had virtually no heat, crazy dangerous wiring, and tempermental plumbing. It was on top of a hill, overlooking 30 acres of rolling meadow and woodland, and I cried for weeks when we sold it. Sometimes I dream about going back there after the kids are grown and gone. :crying: Jackie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jennifer in MI Posted November 10, 2012 Share Posted November 10, 2012 Summers in upper peninsula Michigan. Winters . . . not sure. Really, though, it's more like I would want to travel EVERYWHERE. I would want to try a new spot every couple years and see the whole world. WE love the UP of MI!!! Honestly? I'd summer in my current location. I love it. We're on a lake. We have access to parks with pools and clubs with dining and all. In the future, dh and I will winter in a warm location. Mexico? Central America? Maybe? FL? I don't know. But, somewhere warm with water nearby!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Giraffe Posted November 10, 2012 Share Posted November 10, 2012 If money were no object and it was allowed I'd keep our apartment here and buy a private jet to tour the world, keeping this as our home base. The US, France, England, Scotland, Italy, Russia, Australia, everywhere. But I'd always want to come back here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aspasia Posted November 10, 2012 Share Posted November 10, 2012 U.S.: Park City, Utah in the summer. Beautiful, cultured, in the mountains, close to Salt Lake City and our families. Florida or similar for the winter, because I HATE cold. Foreign: Rural Italy or France. But I would need the money to fly to Utah at least yearly, because I get really homesick even now, and I only live in Virginia (which is actually quite lovely, but if we could live ANYWHERE...)

justLisa Posted November 10, 2012 Share Posted November 10, 2012 I would live in the same state, but out a bit on a bunch of acres with a helicopter and someone to fly me everywhere because I hate driving or sitting for long periods. And I would have a giant pool with a water slide. And my bathroom would be special. You shut the door, it seals, and it becomes a giant car wash. See? NEver have to clean a bathroom again. And I would have a huge farm and garden with people to take care of it for me. And a robotic dog to chase away yucky critters because I'm afraid of dogs AND critters. Don't think I have not thought about this extensively :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
