Where would you go & why?

RedGlitter · Post by **RedGlitter** » Fri Oct 03, 2008 2:47 pm

Italy. Preferably Tuscany or even Venice. But definitely Italy. I may have other choices too but that is my passion. And I would learn the proper language.

Leaving on the 4th of November for four months in New Zealand. If things don't improve in the U.S., I may just apply for citizenship (my wife is a NZ citizen). I wouldn't really, but I have had it up to the gills with our politicos, all of them.

I am not sensitive about my age, or much else for that matter, but yes, I checked a few years ago and there are number of categories that I come under that would allow me to be granted citizenship. I just don't see any real advantage in doing so. I would qualify under the family and financial categories. Age would not be a factor.

I've had the chance of a permanent move to several countries - so I've thought about it. And, as the song says, I still call Australia home.

Been there and done that.... I lived in America - New Hampshire in New England for two years, it was beautiful and the people were lovely, but I just couldn't settle, I missed 'home'... I'd never leave again... I love England far to much

I have always said I would never leave England but I will eventually leave these shores to be near my nephew in Spain.

The town he lives in is so beautiful, I fell in love with the people and way of life.

I know it's only a few of hours by plane but it's a million miles away in terms of lifestyle. :-6

Nope, happy and proud to remain a Canadian and simply travel about the world to see other countries. Home is where the heart is and my heart is here at the foot of the Rockie Mountains :-4

In the late 70s I applied and was accepted for emigration to Australia - ended up getting married instead :-6

No, I think that I live in a wonderful country and would never think of moving anywhere else. When I was younger, on my 1st trip to Ireland and meeting my beloved relatives, I wanted to move there to be closer to them. Now, I realize that there's no place like home and will always live in the States. I feel so blessed living here. This is my home:-4.

If I could visit for 2 months a year, I would love to spend time in Donegal, Ireland, in the Algarve in southern Portugal, the southern part of France and Tuscany, Italy.

My girlfriend lives in Vermont, so I may move there to be with her. We're about a six hour drive apart right now.

She lives less than an hour's drive from the Canadian border, so I could cross over frequently, and I can still listen to CBC Radio there, so it wouldn't feel like I left my country.

Given the fact it is the only state in the Union that G.W. Bush hasn't set foot in since he became President, I think I'll get along famously with the natives.

Ireland seems worth a punt.

Canada. I like so many things about it. Friendly, helpful, generally easygoing, laid back people, beautiful scenery, not too crowded, away from the rat race, great seafood, and a health plan that would keep my husband and I out of financial trouble.
