Hey quasi, having been to Florida a cuppla times, I hafta say I really liked it there, one of the few places I've ever been I liked well enough to think about movin to. The summers are much more manageable than ours, Absolutely love all the tropical plants there and no matter where you are there it's never all that far to the coast. As a landlocked person I've always been enamored of the ocean

I made it up to Wa. and Or. about 12 yrs ago to vacation with a chic I met in Yakima. I still have some very fond memories of the "other worldliness" of the some of the sights and animals you cats have up there. After the dry and brown summer we have here it was awesome to see all the lush green scenery you guys have there even in mid July! We took an overnight road trip down into Oregon and I was really amazed by most everything there, gorgeous country

Having never made it to New Zealand I can only comment on what I've seen of it in movies and some of the pics I've seen online but it looks like a beautiful place too. As far as I know I've never met a Kiwi in person, guess not too many make it over this way

Oz is another place I've never seen up close and personal but think I'd enjoy doin so. Having only met 2 Aussies they seemed very much like Texans with a decidedly different accent of course. What I have grasped of Aussies is they are similarly brash and friendly as we here are. And then, there's all the truly different scenery and animals that are native to Oz that make it very intriguing so I hope to one day see it all for myself
