I sorta' live out in the middle of nowhere. My closest (semi) major city, and airport, is Amarillo, Texas. This is a really interesting thread - it is really neat to see where people live. One thing I noticed (and I'm not attempting to start a flame war - just mentioning a fact!) is that many people who were born in Canada now live in the U.S. and those that live in Canada live within 50 miles of the US-Canadian border (That's not anything unusual either since the majority of Canada's population lives very close to the border). Canada is a breathtakingly beautiful place - or at least what I've seen of it is! I can't speak for all of Canada but I have been in the Prairie Provinces (which are just like where I live but farther North!), I've been to Toronto and Ontario, and spent nearly four years at NAS Argentia (FPO 103) in Newfoundland. I hope to have the opportunity to go back there some day. Everyone lives somewhere (that was just pretty damned deep for me!) and many of you live in areas that most people only dream of visiting. Australia is a place I've always wanted to visit. The closest I've gotten to Australia was Hawaii and that was at 3 AM, running from a typhoon, and only on the ground long. enough to get enough gas to keep on truckin'. My son did have the good fortune when he was in the Navy to go places I've never been, and a couple I'm glad I missed - 3 times to Kuwait. I'll shut up now - just really cool to see where some of ya'll live!
