Hawaii. Blue oceans, mountains, unique foliage, unique indigenous culture, pleasant and mild weather. It is still in the USA, so I won't have a large culture shock, but it is still more multicultural than the part of Wisconsin where I live.

Reposted on: 21.11.12 0701.50 | I would have to have at least 2 homes. I would have one here in the Pittsburgh area so I can still be near my family, and then a house on the beach in Maui.
I also would probably get a house somewhere near Disney World and Universal Studios in Florida for the kids (ok, for me too). | DrDirt

Freaky!
I'd get a place here in Halifax, plus one in my former hometown of Portland, too.
I'd build the huge house out in Calgary, though. | JayJayDean

Reposted on: 21.11.12 1139.39 | I wouldn't move. I would pay off my house here in China, Maine. After the kids were out of school, we might move.
I would definitely visit Bullitt and samoflage in Portland, though. I am guessing if they were building big old houses in Portland, they could add on the pieman wing for me. I would also hope for a pieman wing in the JJD's parents place in Montville.

Reposted on: 21.11.12 1207.00 | I'd move to New England, like maybe Cape Cod or something. A house with a view of water, a porch that wrapped around the house and a porch swing.
I'd definately get another house in Northern New Jersey though. My luck, I'd have the neighbors from hell and I'd have to throw a ham over the fence to get them to stop with all the noise. :)
