Marge, you didn't read well enough. I've said numerous times (including above) that I'm from Las Vegas--and I was raised outside Buffalo too. Concur wholeheartedly with your decision to give up the snow and cold. Why don't you e-mail me. It appears we are the only two from LV, but, fi we have a GTG we can then know we'll have 100% participation!

Hi, Mimi- <BR> Great post! I was born & raised & live in Edmonton, Alberta - the city with the largest urban "parks" area in North America (our river valley trails system- incredibly beautiful). My boyfriend was born & raised in Prince Albert, Saskatchewan but has been an Edmontonian since 1976. There's the rest of the prairies heard from, Maurice from Thompson!

to perplexed: <BR> <BR>Kuala lumpur, Malaysia is in South East Asia and home to the world's tallest buildings, the Petronas twin towers. Ironically just 50km away is one of the oldest tropical rainforests in the world called Taman Negara. It is 100mil years old and there are still tribespeople and wildlife such as elephants and tigers there. <BR> <BR>Oh, I'm from Penang, Malaysia but now work in Singapore.

Flyover <BR> <BR>It's called flyover, because when you travel from one coast to the other, you *flyover*, you don't want to stop where I live. We have about 60 nice days a year. <BR> <BR>I really hate where I live. You would too. Can you guess where?

Hello to whoever is still following this interesting thread. Born in Lynchburg, VA, grew up from age 6 in Danville, VA...between college and career, have lived in Charlotte and Winston-Salem, N.C., Waltham and West Newton, Mass (sub Boston) Annapolis, MD, suburban Philadelphia (actually Cherry Hill, NJ) Danville, California (east of San Fran) and now back in Danville, Virginia. Wife, Amelia, was born in Rhode Island, early years in Puerto Rico, teens and early 20's in Jacksonville, FL. (Not to start anything, but I could have saved a lot of space here by just saying, "American by birth, Southern by the grace of God." Anyway, we love to travel, and hope to get back to France late next spring, world events and personal finances permitting. P>S>If you know anyone who thinks the term "global village" is just some cutesy catch-phrase, refer them to this thread! Best to all, RobDaddy and Mamma Mia
