[color=deeppink] [size=1]Well, whether it's vacation or not, I'm sure most of you've been somewhere else, besides your hometown.

Sooo... where have you been, and what was your favorite place?

[b]note:[/b] You must explain why!! ^_-[/color] [/size]

I have been to Florida about 5 times, Las Vegas once,weeks crusie in the Caribbean(sp), and Hawaii once. My favorite would have to be Florida. I go to Orlando every year, and stay at a condo that we have down there for a week. We go to some of the theme parks for a day, a mall, and just hang out for the rest of the time. Hawaii was the worst place that I myself have been. Boring beyond compare. But yeah, Orlando was my favorite, I hope I read this thread correctly. :D

[SIZE=1]I was born in UP MIchigan. ^_^

We moved to Milwaukee-area [Wisconsin] when I was very little. Between two and four. We've moved twice since then, but always stayed in the same area.

When I was eight, my parents took us on this cross-the-country two-week vacation. We hit most of the Midwest, went out to the Four Corners, and came back through the Great Plains.

I've spent some time in Minnesota, we've got friends-and-relations there. And we've been to LP Michigan a few times.

We visited Toronto when I was ten or eleven..I still don't remember why.

Went on a bus trip to DC my eighth grade year. Don't know if that counts, but we hit a few states on the east coast. :p[/size]

[color=crimson]I've been in Texas for nearly my entire life. Only been out a few times to see Illinois (8), Oklahoma (15), and the New Mexico/Oklahoma/Texas area (this past summer).
I vote Texas. I grew up here, plus, even though we don't get sun, we still get semi-warm weather during the winter, like today--61 degrees, YEAH! ;)[/color]

I used to live in "the hood" in Oakland, California. My mom didn't want me to go to school in Oakland (really bad education system in that town) so I moved to Union City with my grandparents.

My grandmother and mom dragged me up through Oregon and into Washington (the state, not the city) to go to a funeral once.

A couple of times I've gone to Reno, Nevada (the biggest little city in the world, I think it's called). I'm too young to gamble and I certainly can't pass for 21. We were just passing through. We actually had to drive out of California and into Nevada in order to get to another part of California... had to drive around a mountain range.

I've gone to Los Angeles about 4 times. Once for a family reunion and twice just to go to Disneyland. Three of them were road-trips and one was a flight. You know your state is big when commercial airplanes fly from one end to the other.

Grew up on Eskisehir,Turkey.
I live there for about 4 years.My family was living there so I stayed.

I left to America and live in New Jersey for 12 years.
Again all our family was there.

I just recently moved back to Eskisehir,Turkey and it's more nicer than ever.
My mom's side of the family was living there and I missed it.I talk to friends and family online.And my best friend when we were growing up was there too.I like it here.

I've visited Maryland,Virginia and Washington D.C about 5 times.

Well, I live in Christchurch, New Zealand, as I'm sure so many of you know. I lived in this little rural town called Rangiora for awhile, when I was much younger.

Uh, that's about it, really. I lived in Rapid City, South Dakota for three months earlier this year when I was visiting my Dad.. That was pretty cool (especially considering he had Cable... *drools*).

[size=1][i]West Philadelhia born and raised, on the playground is where I spent most of my days...[/i]

*coughs* Oh. I was born in Orange County, California and I lived there until I was five years old. Then we moved to Alta Loma, which is a small town about 40 miles east of LA. These are the only two places I have ever lived in my life, and I really only remember living in my current city.

Well i've lived in canberra my whole life (and YES it is the capital of Australia no matter what some encyclopedias say). I've been to the islands of Vanuatu, Neumea and Lifu. Melbourne, Sydeny and numerous other auzzie cities but I reckon Canberras the best.
It's one of the only truely planned cities in the world, this may sound like a barren landscape for a populations but it's quite spacious and greeny. We have the parlimentary triangle. Parlament house has heaps of skylights and all of the major buildings were beautifly designed. There's the eagle pillar, a gift from you americans after wwII, so thanks on that one. We have lots of parks, statues, sculptures. Three major shopping centers (which is good for it's size). And you can catch a bus anywhere in canberra for one low fare.
So that's *some* of the reasons I like Canberra.
And there's no traffic jams even in rush hour.

I've never lived anywhere outside of Wisconsin. I was born in Madison and lived there for 8 years then I moved to Shorewood, which is in Milwaukee County. After only living for a year in Shorewood we moved to this nice little town called Pewaukee. I've been living in Pewaukee for 5 1/2 years now.

As for vacations, I've been to Arizona(3), Illinois(4), Hawaii(1), Minnesota(2), South Carolina(1), Florida(1), Ohio(1), and California(1). My favorite was Hawaii, we stayed on Maui. Only downsides were sunburn and my old obsession with Dragon Ball Z (new episodes were airing, I hadn't yet discovered fansubs, and my hotel had Cartoon Network). I had to get to my room EVERY weekday to watch it by 4:30. Just more fuel for my current hatred of DBZ.

[color=blue][size=1]Well, I was born in Perth, Australia. When i was about 2 we moved to Kalgoorlie (town in Western Australia). Lived there for about 2 years, then moved to Broome. Hmm...then, when I was 7, we moved back to Perth. And we haven't moved since. I am dying to get out of Perth. That's mostly because of the heat (I'm still not used to it), but I just want out.

Hmm...I've never lived anywhere outside of Western Australia, but I've been to Victoria, NSW and...South Australia, I think.

As soon as I'm old enough (and have enough money), I want to move somewhere. I haven't decided where I want to go, but it's either America...or England *shrugs* The last thing I want is to be stuck here for the rest of my life.[/size][/color]

i'm going to live over in europe somewhere, no idea where. but anywhere out of australia where it is cold and snowing, i will be happy.

[font=gothic][color=crimson]Make it England. Chances are that's what Raven and I will end up doing.

Anyway... Inside Australia, I've only been to NSW twice. I've visited America/NZ for a while though. Have to say my favourite place, out of all those, would be certain areas of California. Mainly the mountains. Don't ask me to explain that though....[/font][/color]

Thinks about listing all the places... *Doesn't bother.*

I was born in South Australia and through a very long stint of moves and things we ended up in Queensland, even though we are still moving around. I won?t bother to list all the places.

[COLOR=green]I have moved around a lot, every two years to be precise, and I have been just about everywhere in the US that has a navy base and then some.

I have lived in:

Washington D.C.
Virginia
Connecticut
The New Hampshire/Maine border
Washington State
California
Perth, Australia

My moving around a lot has prompted me to spend a lot of time on the boards, since my friends here will be here regardless of where I am.

[SIZE=1] [FONT=century gothic][COLOR=deeppink]Hey I live right near there, well not right, but in Ontario!!

I was born in Calgary,Alberta then moved to Montreal,Quebec, when I was two. When I was 3 I moved to Newmarket,Ontario, then moved to another house in Newmarket then to a house in Aurora.

And now I live in Aurora. every summer we go to Sauble Beach in Ontario/USA. I love it there, because of the really soft,white sand and the turquoise waters. I love it there, I can't wait to go this summer!!!

Yes I moved a lot, O yah and I go every second weekend to Oakville,Ontario, because I have to visit my dviorced dad. I don't like Oakville much.

Anyways, I have never been out of Canada, we when I was a baby I did, but not since then...:(

O well,
Merry Christmas,

I was born in Phoenix, Arizona then moved to Showlow, AZ when I was like 6, then back to Phoenix(same house). I lived in Phoenix most of my life. When I was 10 1/2(Summer of 97')we moved to Ohio. We went through Colorado, Utah, Kansas, Missouri, Kentucky. We moved again when I was 14 1/2 but we still live in Ohio. I've also been to Califonia, West Viginia and Pennsylvania but like the other 5, we only stayed a few days.

That is so cool that you could move into the same house again. I have a goal that I'm going to retire living in the house in Calgary, I lived in when I was born.:D

It won't happen, well it could but it was just a thought.
