I kinda liked the eight years I spent in Omaha Nebraska.

The weather is a bit rough but the people are nice. Between Omaha and Lincoln you have two cities big enough to get into trouble, but at the same time a 2 hour drive later and you are the only person on the earth.

Cost of living is pretty low too. I would not object if I could get a job (or even retire) near, but not in, Omaha. :yep:

California...as it was 40 years ago, when I did live there.

No real choice. There are a lot of places I wouldn't mind living, but lacking a good incentive Utah's fine for now.

Platapus 04-20-11 04:48 PM

I enjoyed my three years in Utah also. Nice state, nice people.

Florida. I never want to leave. Love the weather. Hurricanes I can deal with.

P.S.: I'm a Hurricane Andrew survivor even though I was not a resident of FL at the time...worst vacation timing ever.

Nevada but only if we can get all the Californians to move back to California.
They screwed up that state now come here to screw up mine. :damn:

No state income tax here. :woot:

I love NC, can drive to the mountains or the beach in about 4 hours from mid state. Weather OK, cept for all the tornadoes.

Only issue is illegals are big here, taken over most our small towns.

I wish we had their imminent and highly esteemed senators in our state.

Take off, you hoser!

Anywhere in Canada for me. But if I had to pick one state in the US. Oregon for me, its the closest I can get to having a weather system similar to where I am in Australia. Second choice would be over in Wisconsin.

Out of all the US states I've been to (and by now I've at least briefly been in what... somewhere around 15?), I would have to go with Colorado.

The weather in Washington State to the north isn't much different. Both states tend to be cloudy and rainy in the west and dry and arid in the east.

So that's made it easy for you, anywhere but Cantaffordya, and New Jersey!

Unless you go to a certain part of NJ, or Calif. goes back in time! :up:

Agreed...but I find this comment a little strange...

In the US I'd have to say Maine. Simply a beautiful landscape.

NSW all the way here in Aus though.

Ever been to Coffs?
My home.
Awesome beaches, not too big not too small.
Actually my parent's house is about 10 to 15 mins out of town.
Heading north on the Bruce Highway.
You turn off into an area that is just surrounded by big gum trees, banana plantations and beautiful ocean views.
So surreal, turning off a national highway and then bam! Another world.

Yep done quite a few holidays up there. I was passing through from Brisvegas weekend before last and stopped there for lunch. Beautiful part of the world.

What I like about NSW is you get every sort of climate from sub tropical with great beaches, through desert, forests to alpine. I've even done the double surf and ski in one weekend once.

Herr-Berbunch 04-21-11 08:11 AM

And I belive the people to be more friendly in NSW than in the original South Wales :D








but the sheep are still at risk.
