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

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.

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. :)
