we live MUCH too far away from an ocean---the cornhusker state of Nebraska. I wonder, could we possibly be any more land-locked than we are??? http://messages.cruisecritic.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_confused.gif Yuck! If it weren't for a career here that I really love, I'd be hanging out in Florida or Hawaii year round!

We love our cruises and time in the caribbean. We also love to take small trips to New Hampshire and Maine in the summer.

I live in Snellville, GA (Home of Diana Degarmo from American Idol). It's a suburb east of Atlanta. Maybe Diana will win and put Snellville on the map, but I have a feeling Latoya will. She's great. Oh, we're also home of Matt Lindahl a competitor on Nashville Star.
I love living within driving distance of ports. I would like to avoid airports. Oh, this is a true story, (y'all have to put up with this, remember, I'm from the south). We used frequent flier miles to fly to Orlando. Well, I live about 45min. from the airport. Then we had to get there 2 hours in advance because it was peak flying time. The flight was 1.5 hours plus time circling. Add to that the time at Orlando's airport getting luggage and renting a car. By the time we made it to the resort, we could have driven in less time!
Scottie99: I left my heart in Edinburgh. If you are ever on Princess Street, you might run across it.

Bevo, I was born in a small town - Columbia, near Hattiesburg. I lived there, Vicksburg, Brookhaven, Gulfport, and Biloxi. My parents were divorced, so I felt as if I was always moving. Dad is still in Columbia. Was just there in November to show my new hubby where I grew up at. Mississippi is always in my heart and a great place to visit, which I will do more frequently now since I will have a baby. I love Orlando though, and will probably never move far from here.

[Southern Sailor]

BrendaB1: If you come to Snellville, you'll have to visit Stone Mountain Park. It's a State park 5 miles from here and it's beautiful. There's not much to Snellville. Just miles of the usual strip shopping centers and car dealerships and, oh yea, signs that say "vote for Diana". We have lots of trees though, "achoo", did I mention that Atlanta's the pollen capital of the world? Bring allergy medicine. Where in Snellville did your sister move? And my goodness, what in the world brought her here?

[BrendaB1]

Southern Sailor, A JOB! And yes, I hear Stone Mountain is beautiful as well as GA. Never been there before so I am looking forward to it.

The D/W was born in Luton England and I was born in Nashville, Tenn. When I got out of the USAF we moved to sunny Ft. Myers Fl. We tried Daytona Beach and then West Palm Beach and the last 20 years we have been back to lovely Ft. Myers where we live, I work, and we sail from when we get the opportunity. By the blessing and Grace of God we have been able to put a few trips under our belt and pray we will be able to do some more.

Happy Sailing

cruisinsly-
Yep, I am amazed OFTEN what a small world it is! We all seem to have "connections" with everyone sometimes,it seems!
Glad your "Florida Boy" liked MS. Most people do if they just give it a chance. They are always surprised to find our roads are paved (well, most of them http://messages.cruisecritic.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif) and we don't have swamps in our backyards with alligators in them! Now, I do have to say that LOUISIANA has the swamps! (But not all of it is swamps!!!)

We're in a village just north of Glasgow, Scotland and we actually saw the sun today, a rare thing in Scotland at this time of year. Still it'll be back to the cold and rain tomorrow. That's why we love to cruise in the Caribbean. Cruised the Med once. That was OK but not enough of you guys from the USA to have fun with!

[fla_gal]

Born in S. Jersey and moved to Florida 25 years ago, live about 30 miles north of Clearwater, west coast of Fl, favorite pasttime is cruising. So convienent with the ports so close, always looking for the next cruise, Still have to work though to pay for these cruises..

Born and raised in Florida. Now reside in a small town in North Carolina. It is always amazing to find people who live in FL that were actually born there.
Hey, budat2130. I went to Caloosa and Nth Ft Myers High School. I heard it has grown a lot since I was there last. My half sister lives in Cape Coral and is moving next week. She is moving down the road from me. My father lives in Punta Gorda.
As for all of you who live in or near Las Vegas- How many are going to see Barry Manilow in June?

[bencruzN]

britt-britt: Which small town in NC are you living,my family moved here from NC, and a lot of my relatives live there (in a small town Maxton). I do live in Las Vegas, but will not be going to see Barry Manilow, not a fan.

[Salty Dawg]

Kiraley,

Welcome home to Michigan! It is a small world - we knew Eastpointe when it was East Detroit, but we're too young to remember it as Erin Twp. or Halfway! Still go to Villa's for Italian food or O'Hara's for corned beef.

As much as we love the four seasons of Michigan we'd rather be away on a cruise during the winter months!

[the_monkey]

Born and raised halfway between Buffalo and Niagara Falls. Moved away with DH for 4 years to PA, then through a twist of fate we moved back and bought the house that literally sits between my parents and grandparents. So now we're raising our kids literally on my old stomping grounds. http://messages.cruisecritic.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif 4 generations in 3 houses, and my kids are actually the 5th generation to live on this block.

And I work, um, in the garage. http://messages.cruisecritic.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif http://messages.cruisecritic.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

[fhowell2]

We live in Oak View, CA., which is next to Lake Casitas (one of California's premier bass and catfish fisheries), just south of Santa Barbara, and fifteen minutes from the beach in Ventura. Very quiet and easy-going.
We like to take our motorhome to one of the nearby beachside campgrounds and spend days and days taking it easy. Because we are both retired, we are always looking for cruise to go on.

[beansatw]

Born and raised in south Seattle, WA (Go Mariners!), lived there for my first 30 years, then packed up my act and took it on the road to... Sioux City, Iowa. What was I thinking??? http://messages.cruisecritic.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_eek.gif

Actually, Siouxland isn't as bad as you'd think, once you get used to the winters and the smells from the meat plants... http://messages.cruisecritic.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_rolleyes.gif

It's a nice life here, but it's not forever. Where will we end up next? That's half the fun.

Sitting here reading your post - from Sioux City, Iowa! Actually, I was born here and have not escaped except to live in Storm Lake and now LeMars. Have worked in Sioux City the last 9 years.

[KandMGIn]

Born and raised in St. Charles Illinois. Lived one year in Lake Orion Michigan. Dad was transfered back to St. Charles back in 94 and have lived there since. Unfortunately, since the area is so very pricey, my DH and I have settled in a small community 20 miles west of St. Charles called Sycamore and now I wouldn't trade it for the world. Funny how that stuff works!

[nosnobunny]

I live in SW Ontario half way between Detroit and Toronto. Spring, summer and fall, I play here in Ontario, usually on a golf course. Winter - anywhere where the ground's not frozen. http://messages.cruisecritic.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

Luckily we have daughters living on Vancouver Island and in Weston Florida, so I get to spend quite a bit of time there too. Now all I need is for one of the others to move to Arizona.

[GottaLuvCruising]

We live & work near Orlando, Florida. With our Disney World and Sea World annual passes, we also play here a lot! We vacation in Maine a couple times each year (during warm weather only), primarily to see family. But our real "play" time is our cruises - we've done only the Caribbean and Bahamas so far, but will enjoy our 12 day Hawaiian cruise beginning Friday!

[haleindia]

HI...we are Canadaians living in Seoul, Korea. We have been enjoying the expat life for 6 years...England, India and now Korea, and that has allowed us to do some wonderful cruises all around the world!

[britt-britt]

bencruzN: We live in Clinton. We are 1 hr from Raleigh, 45 min. from Fayetteville and 1 hr from Wilmington. I think I'm a rare breed (33 YO Barry Manilow fan). Hubby isn't a fan either, but said if I wanted to go he would suffer and take me, lol. He wants to go to Las Vegas, thats the only reason he offered ( he loves Atlantic City). Now we have to weigh our options - Las Vegas or one more cruise this year. I think the cruise will win!

[cyn123]

We live and work in SUFFOLK VA . We do alot of camping with our 2 sons in the summer. Usually at state parks or head to the beautiful mountians of VA.
Can't wait to cruise for the first time. PARADISE 5/16

We are from NW Indiana going on our first cruise. Went to Ocho Rios, Jamaica for a week recently. That is the extent of my exotic vacations, unless you count Disney in Florida!

[CantWaitforDecember]

Raised on the south shore of Massachusetts and now live in the great state of Maine, eight miles south of Augusta, the state capital. Work in education and live for the summers where my boys and I travel the country trying out all the new roller coasters! This year, however, we are taking our first cruise on The Legend in December. Any and all advice is appreciated. My dearest friend now lives in Las Vegas and I will be venturing there during February 2005 vacation!

[morriscats]

We live in the Napa Valley and love to drive on over to S.F. and cruise from there to the Mexican Riviera.

[pungo3]

Native Floridian here. Born in Florida and lived here ever since. Raised inTallahassee and lived my adult life in Gainesville. :)

[dickinson]

grew up south of Boston but have lived in Maryland for many years. Still have that Boston accent though! :D

[dotcruiser]

Been in Deltona, Florida for almost 20 years. We play anywhere that's a bargain. Love Las Vegas. Try to get there every few years. (Flamingo is our favorite place to stay)
Love Daytona racetrack and love to cruise! Going to Panama Canal in November.
By the way, Catrin, if you read this, where in R.I. do you live? We are both from Newport and lived mostly in Portsmouth. I miss R.I. and go there as often as I can.

[phinfan63]

Born in Belleville, IL (Scott Air Force Base). Moved around alot as a child but have been in the Memphis, TN area for about 35 years. We love to go camping - mostly in Arkansas. Beautiful lakes and rivers there. First cruise is scheduled for August and can't wait ! :)

[Mask]

We live in Halifax, Nova Scotia. Born here, raised in Toronto and moved back here four years ago. I love to watch the cruise ships arriving and departing (great webcam if anyone is interested: http://www.chebucto.ns.ca/Webcam/). We are hoping that someday Halifax will become an embarktion port. We are going on our first cruise in November -- can't wait.

Grew up in SW Florida, but have been in the Orlando area since 1992. Close to ports. Yeah!

[ken_nyc]

Born in Brooklyn, New York; work as a graphic designer in Manhattan. I lived in Athens, GA in the mid 70's for three years. I fish and bowl in Brooklyn, I am an avid fisherman. Worked on the fishing boats in Sheepshead Bay as a kid.

[lakelover]

We live,work and play in South Lake Tahoe, CA (nothing like living in a tourist destination to hate Friday traffic in a small town)....although the Mexican Riviera via the Pride (or any ship on that itinerary) is my second favorite!

[Birms38]

We live and work in Bartlesville Oklahoma, I work in Advertising and DH is a Police Officer. We love to play anywhere there is water, snorkling, riding our Seadoos and wakeboarding. Wished we lived where it is warm all year round so we could play in the water all year long! We spend alot of time at the area lakes in Oklahoma and Arkansas camping through out the Spring, Summer into early Fall. We wish we were full time cruisers, at least we have been able to get one a year in for the last couple of years and hope we can for each year coming up.
