Topic: Where In America Would You Recommend

Optomistic69 Joined Mon 10/10/11 Posts: 5173	Mon 01/30/12 02:23 AM I have never been to America and hope to visit in the not too distant future. If I were to live there I would like the State of New Hampshire. I am talking about a holiday visit.

If I were to live there I would like the State of New Hampshire. I am talking about a holiday visit. Housing cost is HIGH... Property tax is HIGH... There are many fees in the state of New Hampshire... Winter there is COLD, at times, brutal, as is the case with all New England states.... Seasons are beautiful....Very.... People are friendly but territorial...It will take a while to become one with them, be accepted... If you choose NH, you will need "deep" pockets and warm clothing...and a very good car! Be prepared to spend lots of money on eating expense too.....and booze, if you drink .....

We are in the middle of winter here in Ireland and I do not require the heating on at the moment.

Beaches, mountains, big cities.. depends on what you like.

motowndowntown Joined Wed 11/19/08 Posts: 13465	Sat 03/10/12 06:18 PM Like any "big city" America has just about anything you are looking for. So what are you looking for? Fun in the sun? Night life? Shopping? Scenery? Hunting/fishing? Golf? Food? America is a BIG country. How much time do you have?

It takes longer than that to drive across the many vistas of Texas!

I've always loved the south east coast, I plan on moving to Texas though, I'm sure I'll like it out there even more. Just don't come up into northeast Ohio, this is probably the worst part of the country.

oldhippie1952 Joined Mon 03/14/11 Posts: 14299	Sun 03/11/12 08:30 PM You could try San Diego, CA. I lived there a couple of years and the climate is wonderful. Food and fuel are expensive but since it is a holiday visit it's not like you'll be there forever. The beach water is cold but you can walk on the sand (not hot like Texas, but in Texas the water is warm and you don't freeze either). Never been to Florida but going one day! It would be a tough choice for me, the beauty of Colorado versus the fun of the beach.
