Where would you move?

Sounds like a great trip you've planned, Annie, have fun. I just finished reading a book about the Vanderbilts and their homes in Newport, I would love to see some of them.Take lots of pictures for us.I would love to live somewhere on the Pacific coast.

Always lots of photos. I saw the Vanderbilt house in Asheville, NC - Biltmore. Stunning!!
 

No doubt it would be England, because that's where my son and grandchildren live and I know he'll never move back. I hate seeing them so infrequently. The visit this June for two weeks was so wonderful. My wife and I still think about investigating the practicalities of moving over there.

Hard to get a visa, Bob. But look at the UK Home Office site to see if you qualify.

If not, we may look into living there for part of the year (say summer) while my grandchildren would be out of school. Probably an easier/cheaper alternative.

You can stay on a tourist visa for up to 6 months I think as long as you can prove you have enough funds to do so. A great option! I'm sure you've mentioned it before, but where in England are they?

They are between Liverpool and Manchester in a town called Grappenhall. Right next to Stockton Heath.

Sounds good, but make sure to check the mansions, stroll downtown, visit the Tennis Hall of Fame, Hammersmith Farm is nice at the beginning of one end of Ocean Drive, and as you ride around you can see the Doris Duke estate that has a notable history. In short, Newport is treasure of things to do and see...

If I had unlimited wealth I wouldn't mind living in one of those manions built by the robber barons. Newport is very picturesque. The Jazz festivals were pretty awesome too.
 
Any of the four corner states, but Utah is my favorite. I love the southwest and want to live far away from the big cities,
preferably somewhere like this (from a camping/kayaking trip last summer).

If it were not for my step father living here, I would heavily consider leaving California. I'd move someplace with rain.
 
Wouldn't mind owning a small place in Monterey, Calif., so I could visit when overcome by homesickness, but, unfortunately, old age and extensive paperwork puts an end to that fanciful notion.

We lived at Grand Junction. Now we have relatives of my husband's at Montrose and I thought it was funny because in doing family research I found out that on MY side of the family we had relatives there back in the 30s. :) It's a small world sometimes. Many years ago my uncle owned a lumber yard in Denver but I've never been there myself.

I LOVE Grand Junction. At least in the summer. Not sure about the winter, though.

Jujube, we were there one winter. It was the first place I'd ever lived outside of Oregon and I liked the clear sunny skies, even when it was cold with snow on the ground. It was my first experience with dry cold and I could hang cloths on the line and they'd dry just fine.

Mmm....love Moroccan food! Morocco was my choice for my 60th birthday trip! Loved the sweet mint tea as well.
