Where would I go?



I will bite and wrote about the Project Blog question of the week.


Project Blog: Question One.
Where would you chose to live if you had to leave this country?
Well let's just get this out of the way...we all know that if I am getting out of England, I am going home to the US, but let's just say that I don't have to worry about American family or English family and I am just leaving it all behind.  It is really hard to choose a country that I haven't been too.  I have so many romantic ideas of places like Thiland and Spain, So really I am limited to places I have been...Holland, Australia, Antigua/Barbuda, Ireland, Scotland and Canada.  
I really loved Antigua and I wasn't there for a holiday either.  I was working hard on the beach digging up a skeleton.  Gotta love the laid back "Island time" and the fact that their money is worth less than ours.  So if I wanted to treat the rest of my life as an island getaway, I would go with the Caribbean.

 These were taken in 2001 way before I had a digital camera, 
so these were all scanned in.  
This is of 2 ft bay in Barbuda, where we found the skeleton I was excavating.

This is the terrain inside the island.  
Wonderful tropical desert, that is the only way to describe it.


 However, if I wanted to pick up sticks to start again, I would go with Australia.  Many English people have a thing for Australia, and I know why.  The people are so friendly and, like the States, they have all of the climates you could ask for, sun, surf, desert, jungle and they have winters in the southern end.

My brother and I in Sidney 2003 (we were having a better time than it looks). 

Bondi Beach
 These were the only pictures I had scanned on my computer of Australia. 
 I have tons of animal pictures spread throughout the house.

i totally agree with you on Australia (and yes we were having a way better time than the picture suggests). i have always said that out of all the places i would live, it would be Australia. Screw Canada, overrated.

by the way i think i have all my australia pictures on a disk, i'll see if i can dig them up....although it might have to wait until i buy a house. :)
