Cool list. I was born in Connecticut, lived in Rhode Island, Massachusetts, Vermont, and Maine (why, yes, I do like New England), and I currently live in California. My wife and I want to move back to VT, but I’m not sure if that counts for this poll as we don’t have any real plans and it definitely won’t be happening in the next 10 years or so. ---

**Pixilated** - Texas./Arkansas (border town “twincity”) Nebraska = Doper was born in location. Kansas = Doper has lived in location at least ONCE (but was NOT born in). Nebraska = Doper will be going to or returning back to location in future - for 20 yr highschool reunion! I have many relatives in Missouri (Misery), Nebraska, & Colorado. My goal is to someday retire in Ireland in the middle of nowhere Ok fine… I’ll settle for yearly vacations ---

[QUOTE=Idle Thoughts] **Giles** - is Wales and New South Wales the same place? Or completely different, separate locations? [/QUOTE] This reply is about 12 months late, but, no, Wales and New South Wales are about as far apart as you can get on the globe. NSW is one of the states of Australia, and I was born and have lived there most of my life. I visited Wales once, about 55 years ago, for a week or two.
