I've lived in several places, including the UK, and I very much admired AZ; but no place feels like home to me, except for FL.

My absplute favorite place is the red rock country of Utah. Arizona is a close second. I'd like to see more of the four corners area and New Mexico.
Good morning, Peeps.The closest I got to Florida, was Brunswick, Georgia, Jekyll Island to be more precise.
The closest I have ever been to Florida is Houston Texas
Looks like some of ya'll don't get out much.
I'm a New Englander, Wuzz, we stay close to home. The only time that I ventured into the unknown lands, beyond the borders of our 6 state region, is when I was in the Army. It was scary out there. LOL
There were people with different accents and even some who didn't speak American. I was terrified, Wuzz 
I was so happy to get back to the safety of New England.

Looks like folks in here need to take a road trip!! My hubby and I dragged the kids all over the place. I think we've hit nearly all the states east of the Mississippi, and a bunch west too. After the boys were older, we were able to leave them home and have some time to ourselves, which was really nice, and we didn't have to worry about finding someone we could trust with our dog. We were just talking this morning about how we haven't gone anywhere this year, trying to figure out how we can get away now that our youngest has moved into his own place. Our dog sitter has flown the coop! Love my Mac to pieces, but he is not a good travel companion. Looks like for the time being we will have to make due with day trips.
Hope you all are having a good Sunday!

Were you in during the Vietnam War, Wuzz? I was, but they sent me to Korea, for my overseas duty.
QRXT, my middle niece moved to New York state. We felt that she was abandoning her family.
Years ago, I got into a conversation with a couple of park rangers, in the White Mountains of New Hampshire. They were husband and wife and their idea of a road trip, was to come to the beaches of Rhode Island. My idea of a road trip is to go the mountains of New Hampshire.

Furthest I've gone west is Colorado, and that was beautiful. Lookout Mountain in the dark is worth it to be able to see Denver at night from above. I still love Adirondack Mountains too though. I've taken many trips north to camp out in them.
I spent a few days in Seattle, at Ft. Lewis, I could see Mt. Rainier from there. It was quite an impressive sight to a flat lander, like me.
Mt Ranier is beautiful!!!!
I grew up in Seattle.
I'm a Westerner. I like to visit back East but I am pretty sure I wouldn't want to live there

I didn't see much of Seattle, Lizzie, but I liked what I did see. I got there in early June and the weather was perfect, the few days that I was there.

I suppose when you are raised in such a beautiful area you learn to leave well enough alone and stay put? I love to visit new places, but I would never move away from the Great Lakes. Well, maybe if I had unlimited funds I could leave for the worst part of winter....yeah, I could live with that.
If I had the money, I would winter in South Carolina or Georgia and summer in northern New Hampshire.
This morning, my friend Karen came and rode with me. She rode one of the barn owner's horses, Ali. It wasn't as hot as I anticipated. The only adventures were that Penny stumbled over a fallen log -- she has to learn to pick up her feet and watch where she's walking, something you'd think she'd know by now, and she went to her knees and I thought for a moment we were going down, but she recovered -- and Ali was very bothered by the flies and decided to roll while Karen was riding her. No one was hurt, and it was good to be riding again. Then we went out to lunch at Red Newt, which was always our favorite restaurant, but they changed the format, and we didn't like having our menu and the wines chosen for us. I guess I should email Red Newt and ask for the old lunch menu back again. I can't understand why they changed, since there was a lot less business than Karen & I remember from before the change.
The furthest west was California. Next furthest west was Colorado. Furthest south was bootheel of Missouri. Furthest north was northwest corner of Wisconsin. Furthest east was State College Pennsylvania. I'm less traveled than any of you.
And I would rather go to Syria than another state of the US.
I feel the same about the midwest.There were people with different accents and even some who didn't speak American. I was terrified, Wuzz
After a harrowing experience in southwest Kansas, I RAN to Wisconsin, which is more midwest than Illinois, some of my family lived there before they moved to Illinois, and I have family there now.I suppose when you are raised in such a beautiful area you learn to leave well enough alone and stay put?

Since we're all comparing where, geographically, we've been, I'll play. I've been along the east coast from Maine to Virginia and inland in North Carolina. I've traveled across the country from NYC to California and back to the area where I live now. Let's see if I can remember the states I've been in: AZ, CA, CO, CT, Washington DC, DE, ID, IL, IN, MA, MD, ME, MI, MN, MT, NC, ND, NE, NH, NJ, NM, NV, NY, OH, OR, PA, PR, RI, VA, and WV. In Canada, I've been in the provinces: NS, ON, PE, and QC. I've also been to England and Turkey.
