I nominate you for the worst response in this thread.
Cleveland? Cleveland!? And from a Steelers fan no less… for shame!
I don’t know but wherever it is, it has to be on the ocean or a very large lake. I’ve been spoiled by Lake Michigan. It really is like living on the ocean, but waaaay cheaper.
This picture is from a state park that is basically in my backyard.

That looks fantastic!
What sort of climbing did you do on it? How high did you get?[/quote]
Well our guide told me we were at least in the 8000’s. We did a mixture of scrambling and rock climbing, also we walked along the lesser known moutain paths. It was pretty fun. However i’m not a great climber, i’ve a got a lot of practice to do. I’m thinking of joining the uni’s mountaineering society-I hear they go to Snowdonia regularly and biannually to the French Alps.
Edit: they also have a lot of fit girls too…so i can watch their bums while they climb above me haha. Yes i’m a perv.

No better reason to start climbing mate!
Plenty of good terrain over the Snowdonia area. When you get back over to the UK next year, grab a few days out and join me and my climbing buddies for some tough rock play.
I liked Spain and Amsterdam. We sometimes talk about throwing it all away and moving to the family cottage in upstate NY and becoming welfare cheats…but I would end up killing people during the winter - no sun!
I love Colorado. Mountains, seasons, a reasonably sized city, sports, hot people…the only thing we really lack is water. I would love to have a few big lakes here, but we mostly have not-huge reservoirs and those are always full of idiots…
Ok for sure mate.

Check out Vancouver and the whole provinces of Alberta and Ontario. They are worth experiencing especially Alberta!

You want to live in a large expanse of water?
My personal choices of where to move…
San Diego looks awesome plus there are the stalking and clandestine photography possibilities if I get hold of OG’s address. Seems to be a lot going on there, and in San Diego too.
New Zealand - As has been mentioned it’s like somebody came up with a perfect cgi landscape and built it for real. Looks like there are some awesome extreme sports possibilities and the mountains are too good to be true.
Canada for fantastic views and lifestyle and unlike shire I do like the snow. Also read stalking possibilities above. Only downside is the ermine.
Austria or Scotland for many of the same reasons. Skiing, climbing, etc.[/quote]
It’s actually a little known place - Skaneateles, NY. My idea of paradise.
DB
Dollar Bill Are you really in India? If so which part?
Buck Mulligan I’ve always wanted to Montreal…hear its pretty cool.

I would consider Italy again, the food, wine, culture, people, and lifestyle suits me. I have yet to meet someone who had a bad visit or vacation there. [/quote]
FYI - Turin (AKA Torino) is a shithole. Do not go there.
Bury St. Edmunds, England
My heart still lives there.

Yeah. That’s true. But, there is the Dillon Reservoir. I used to love going there when I was younger and we lived in Breck. Now, I don’t think I have actually traveled that far in a while. Saddening.
Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada the most beautiful place on earth. I’ve already moved here and I’m never leaving. Everything I want or need is right here on the Island.

Yeah, but Dillon’s full of sail boats (and cold!), and living on the plains, it’s a lot of wear on the truck to drive up the hill regularly with a boat behind.
I like the mountain lakes, but the closest things we have to where we live are places like Chatfield and Cherry Creek…and Horsetooth! I loved shore fishing at Carter Lake, but we don’t go up there anymore for fear of catching that drunk guy’s son who drowned…

Hoi An is a really magical place. Less of the hustle and bustle of the bigger cities and a lot of genuine smiles from the locals.
And, in my opinion, in terms of bang for your buck its THE best place in the world to get a suit made.
