    My dream is to live with my sweetie on Cape Cod in the spring, summer, and fall, then to Hawaii for the winter. If I can't have that, then I'll live anywhere, as long as we are together.

    Where on the Cape? I was born there (in Bourne) and love going back to visit.

    We love Provincetown and go there a couple of times a year, usually in the spring and again during Women's Week in October. So, we would want to be somewhere near there.

    I love P-Town, my SO has never been so it's on the list of "places to go". I've spent many a day at Race Point Beach and hiking the dunes there.

    I have to say I want to be right where I am. Right-sized town (100,000), beautiful hills and lake, 4 distinct seasons with snow in the winter and hot, dry summers (super important to me). Safe place to live and raise children. And of course, all the bonuses that come with living in Canada (free health care, freedom to be yourself, yadda yadda). I would like to build my dream home on my dream property someday, but I hope it'll be right here in Kelowna.

    I like where I live right now for sentimental reasons. It's my old family farm--settled by my ancesters in the 1820's(I grew up here as well). It has a certain charm to it and I can walk to the river w/o a license and fish all I want b/c the game warden wouldn't fool w/ coming up the tangle of river to find me-good catfish too. There are several places I want to go of course- Italy, Norway, Maine, Alaska etc. There's a pretty little town in Oregon that was Peoria I think, where they filmed the movie Kindergarten cop, that's a charming little place on the west coast. I could live there. But I'm like many of you, be able to ride my bike everywhere and only use the car for long trips or hauling big things. The good thing is I can have a garden as big as I want where I'm at. Love fresh veggies in summer.

    Nope, that was Astoria, Oregon and my nephew was a movie extra, i guess scenes were filmed at his elementary school. TEEHEE!
    Astoria is a nice place, but it's very very depressed, no jobs.

    Lisa, your Cape is darling! And that gorgeous maple in the front yard! I can see why you're happy right where you are. It's very cheerful.

    Thank you Emily!
    We just came back from a road trip to Asheville area NC visiting friends by the way- beautiful mountain country.

    P-town is on my list of places to see. I haven't been to the East Coast since I was a pup. There's a Women's Week here in the Russian River area Guernville CA each year.

    I've never been, such a party animal ... not.

    I love that area of Sonoma County, Redwoods, near the coast, lots of artists ... but another thing that happens yearly are floods. Seems people buying houses on the river never learn

    My dad lives in Yardley, PA which is right on the deleware river. He literally lives right behind the Canal and always gets flooded out. It's a shame, because Yardley is a great little town (sort of like the type that I would like to live in some day) but for the flooding which for the past 3 years has been reeeally bad.

    Lisa S.H. your house is darling! But where are the windchimes??

    I like Sydney because of the beaches, sunshine and city vibe.

    But whenever I'll get around to settling down, I might move to Nelson, NZ. I've been there on holiday a few times. The township has heaps of cute wooden villas and has a relaxed vibe. The area around Nelson as alot of beaches & bush.

    As much as I like living in Sydney, it does lack the lush green grass of my childhood & the relaxed feeling of small town NZ life.

    Windchimes drive us nuts after a while. They seem to chime relentlessly, and our house is so small you wouldn't be able to get away from it no matter what room you go to. I guess we're a bit sound sensitive, we prefer to just hear the neighborhood birds. We had to turn off the cuckoo clock as well! We have some wonderful mockingbirds, wrens, and mourning doves that sing in the mornings in Spring and summer. In the winter we listen to the blue jays, chickadees, and crows. In the autumn sometimes we hear owls at night. I guess they are all our "bird chimes".

    From a very, very light sleeper...THANK YOU! I love the sound of windchimes but my old neighbor had large ones on her back porch and they chimed endlessly on windy nights (very common here) making it very difficult to sleep.
