I was born and have lived within the same 5 mile bubble my entire life. Long Island. I doubt it will change anytime soon.

I lived in Massapequa Park for five years 39 years ago...I loved it there...

Ocean City, Sea Isle or Cape May preferred

Oh I LOVE Cape May. We haven't been there for a few years but it's magical. Though I couldn't live there as it is way too busy in the on season and way too quiet in the off season. During the winter most of the stores close. I love the beach in winter but where we are it's a good compromise. Lively even in winter and our beaches are beautiful. I agree Cape May is just amazing and we love visiting.

Born in the western suburbs of Sydney, currently living in the western suburbs of Melbourne.
My sister is the last one of the family still in Sydney, my mother moved down in 2002 when I was 14 years old to live with her parents, I ping-ponged back and forth between Melbourne and Sydney between 2006-2012 and then my dad made the decision to move to Melbourne permanently late last year. Funny how that has all worked out...

Germany. But I live in the midwest for now. Kind of hoping maybe when my husband retires though we can go to Florida though. I miss the sea right next to my face lol.

Born in Hilo, HI and live about 30ish min outside of Seattle, WA. My retirement plan is to buy a cheap lot near Volcano National Park and live there. I can't stand the cold weather.

Yay! Another in WA!

I was born near Snohomish, WA (3rd generation born here) and now live about 30 minutes from Seattle. (Depending on traffic...)

Absolutely, it is so beautiful...especially N MI, or 'up north'. I love both Leelanau & Benzie County, around Traverse City, & everything along M22. There are so many sweet spots up & down the 'coast'.

I always loved Biloxi. We used to drive to Alabama about every other year to visit my cousins, and we'd always spend a night in Biloxi..
