That's a nice difference! Except maybe the mosquitoes!
Amazing country and people, good food. I loved it there, too.
I've not spent much time in New Jersey apart from a month or so at Fort Dix for training. I'm not sure that really qualifies. Another entry for my bucket list to see my many times great grandfather's birth place in Somerset County.
I was there the year after you! We went in 2013 and went all over the place. We did miss Glascow and a few other places but oh man. We had a private tour driver. Every two days we changed locations. Was the most fun and I loved everywhere.I am packing my suitcase @AK_Tracy Miss Kitty and coming with you!!! I LOVE Scotland and would live there in a heartbeat! On my overseas holiday in 2012 we went to Scotland as part of the bus tour and visited Edinburgh, Loch Lomond and Glascow and I loved every second of it! I truly did not want to leave! I think I must have lived there in another life!
That sounds lovely! Do prefer a busy beach, a quiet beach, or a wild rocky beach?
On a lake by the ocean in the mountains. Hmmmm, that sounds like other choice Costa Rica. Such a lovely dream!
Chris I was coming to answer and would repeat yours almost exactly. I love New Jersey and if I had a few million dollars, I'm move to the shore. Except full-time!
Oh for real!!! I would love to get a big house on just about any Ocean Ave (is there a town that *doesn't* have an Ocean Ave? Haha!)Chris I was coming to answer and would repeat yours almost exactly. I love New Jersey and if I had a few million dollars, I'm move to the shore. Except full-time!
We Jersey girls......
We are kindred spirits, Ana! Although the UK is my favorite I would gladly move around. I have gypsy in my soul!
@faerywings and @MariJ now you girls have me really intrigued. Gotta get up that way - I have a whole new outlook on NJ now!
Sweet slumber. I love the beach - when it's empty and the waves are crashing in!I am really happy and content where I live but..... in my dreams I would love to be closer to a beach - not living right at the beach but able to visit a beach side town often so I could enjoy walking on the beach and staying the night where I could fall asleep to the sound of the waves. ( This reminds me that I do own a CD of ocean sounds which I must play sometime very soon).
Sure, some places in NJ are sort of like what you see on TV but most of it is beautiful. Unless you are stuck in traffic. Then you learn quickly what the NJ State Bird is-- the middle finger hahaha!
Hey, Cheryl, I'm in SW Florida. Come visit any winter! (We have a guest room.)
Thanks for the invite. We lived there for years, then moved out west. I still miss Florida, but loved the Michigan summers when we lived there, too.
NJ is beautiful and has everything -- beaches and ocean, farms, mountains, cities, pine barrens, historical places and lots and lots of people. We're the "Garden State" and while overshadowed by New York City we have a lot to offer. Very often only industry is driven through, in fact there's so much to do and see. Come on up and visit!
Tennessee? The whole state is lovely but I really love the area around Knoxville, Gatlinburg, Nashville.
Ummmm---- yes! Only the best bakery in the USA! Not to mention the bagels and the pizza...
Ha ha! I haven't read through this whole thread (we are on the road -returning from Dad's memorial service) BUT, Dan and I are making plans to be "snowbirds"! A place here in SC, and one up at Lake Erie- my favorite place in the world! We both immediately felt at home when we were there in June.
