Leaving it all

[WolfpackWife]

Hypothetical question:

If you could pick up today and leave it all behind - call schedules, board exams, conflicting child activity schedules, med school loans, home repairs, car repairs, annoying in laws - and move your family and spouse to any city/country in the world, where would you choose and why?

If Stockholm, Sweden or Copenhagen, Denmark weren't so damn cold, those would intrigue me (never been, ha!).

Anyone know of a very civilized, secular, liberal, free country in a equatorial, tropical climate? There.

little known fact. My husband's first degree is in horticulture. Sometimes I wonder if he'll come home one day saying he's quit and moving me to the jungle.

New Zealand. I'll join you there, Heidi!

(There are parts of Australia that are more tropical, but all the poisonous critters there make me less enchanted with the place).

Sweet!

We talk about this all. The. Time. Or at least I do.

I think I'm meant to be a nomad because a lot of places sound pretty awesome.

I'm pretty happy with suburban, Midwestern living But, for the sake of argument, I'd do either Germany or Italy or France. I have never been to Germany, but hear it's fairly similar to the US. Italy is beautiful and has a slower pace of life. France seems to be well-embraced by ex-pats and offers great things in terms of education and healthy living.

I'm inclined to say Paris, because I'm fantasizing about it this morning. But that sounds so run-of-the-mill. I know it would also be crowded and our living space likely small. I think I'd prefer a countryside area in the Netherlands or Switzerland - somewhere close by larger cities and a train ride away from weekends in Paris or elsewhere in Europe. Italy is tempting, but knowing how rough and unstable their economy and government is, it would probably be stressful.

Ireland...DH and I loved it when we went last year!

Maybe Japan? Or domestic, New England or PNW or Bay Area. We like cold and rain.

One of my favorite places to visit is Cape Cod. Provincetown is a blast.

Let's move near each other and away from cracked out neighbors (yours and mine).

[SoonerTexan]

Munich, but only for like 6 months.

Asheville
Boulder

But I need a pretty house overlooking mountains

I think we'd move to the Santa Barbara area, but only if we had enough money to buy an awesome house and live super comfortably. (This is fantasy land, right?) We'd be close enough to family without being too close, there's lots of great Mexican food, and there's always the chance that Oprah and I might run into each other at the farmers market and become BFFs.
