To live abroad...

[Zomby Woof]

We're thinking by 2009 any of these will do.

1. Kiwi's rock!!!

13. Aw shucks...Thanks! Blush... n/t

[Dem2theMax]

2. Italy is my absolute dream. And that was before *.

I still want to move there. I hope I can pull it off someday. I've been doing some research. It won't be easy. On the other hand, I can take a one hour drive and end up in Mexico. It's very affordable, and unlike Italy, you don't have to jump through a brazillion hoops to be allowed to live there.

(That's only the second time I've used the word 'brazillion.' I'm counting. :evilgrin: )

3. Anywhere in Europe would work for me.

Or New Zealand.

4. Take me TAKE ME.....

...PLEASE!!! :D

:hi:

[Zomby Woof]

5. Ok!

:D The more the merrier! :hi:

[jus_the_facts]

6. I've never been anywhere outside the U.S.....

...well except across the border into Mexico once when I was in the thrid grade! :woohoo:

[Deja Q]

17. I'm not abroad, but TAKE ME TOO!

:bounce:

[leftofthedial]

7. Portugal

or Spain

[LSK]

8. New Zealand

English speaking, very liberal, in the Southern Hemisphere, kinda far away from the rest of the crazy world if something really bad happens and no snakes.

9. But, you could bring SNAKES ON A PLANE!

:D

[Random_Australian]

10. Australia! n/t

[SeattleGirl]

11. I'll go with Costa Rica.

If I don't like it, I'll go somewhere else.

[seemunkee]

16. Agree

Good climate, close enough to US to visit easily, large expat community. I don't believe they tax retirement income.

12. My vote isn't there. Besides being EU cit, I'm spoiled for choice!

I'd happily go back to the UK, if I could afford it. Costs too much like a first world country to me.

But if you really need to get away, NZ I can recommend. Never been there personally (my sister has) but from sounds of things it's far enough away and more liberal minded than here.

Mark.

14. I vote Rome, Italy!

THAT would be MY choice! Rome is AMAZING! :bounce:

[GOPisEvil]

15. Go to one of the EU nations.

That way, when I visit, it's easier for me to stay (assuming I declare dual citizenship).

I've always thought Barcelona would be nice. ;)

[Zomby Woof]

18. I lived in Spain when I was a kid

I can always do an encore. Never made it up to Barcelona, though. :D

[EstimatedProphet]

19. Other-the Netherlands

[ForrestGump]

20. When they change the laws, Mr Woof, marry me

I can get you in to one of those countries. :D

We'll adopt nini...

[Reciprocity]

21. New Zealand

I have only visited the North Island though. That said it was very beautiful. The people are laid back and friendly. The entire nation only has about four million people.

The view from my hotel Bay of Islands NZ.

If I had to chose a large city to move to, I would choose Amsterdam. Most everyone speeks English. Great places to eat drink and umm whatever.
