I was born in Tacoma & raised in Oregon so I think I'll qualify for residecy LOL.... We plan on eventually settling in the Pacific Northwest after we get our fill of toodleing around the US of A. I've lived in Texas so long that I'll probably have to practice losing my Texas twang before they'll let me settle there. No offense TT but Texas is just to dang HOT.
Hey, I'm just the opposite! I was born in Oregon & raised in Wash... They're practically the same, and almost Canada...so we can be CanWarGonians I suppose.
I've only been to Houston and TheWoodlands in Texas, visiting relatives, so I'm sure I haven't seen "the best" of Texas... I will say that the TSA people at the airport down there were so polite with their accents and all. We do NOT have that southern hospitality / politeness up here. Seattlites are pretty sarcastic...it's kind of an art.
