Just wondering, say someone offers you a free plane ticket. They say you can leave the United States for good and fly to any other country in the world of your choice? But the catch is, there’s no going back, once you fly to your country choice, this will be your new home for good? Where else would you want to live besides the US?

I’ve always wanted to see what Ireland or the Bahamas would be like? So if I had to leave for good. I’d live in one of those 2 countries in my opinion?

Are we talking PRE or POST Democrat domination of the country into total chaos and ruin?

NOW, IF I could come back for Friday night high school football. I'd pick Hong Kong, pre Commie invasion.

I worked with a guy years ago that retired to a country where his fixed income would go farther. He moved back to the US after a few years for one reason: health care. Not the cost of heaLth care but the quality. He said it was scary.

Does he STILL feel that way? Because healthcare in Georgia STINKS, post Covid. I'm having to wait three months, and jump through all kinds of hoops, to get a colonoscopy. Masks are mandatory, while the person who escorts you to the procedure, has to wait in the car in the parking lot. And a four-month waiting list for cataract surgery. And every time I get a vision check at my ophthalmologist, masks are mandatory for the two plus hour ordeal.

Well that was interesting.

I took three different online quizzes. The recommendations were,

Kenya, South Korea, and New Zealand.

I choose the green hills of Africa. Maybe live on a farm at the foot of the Ngong hills.


The truth is I would probably move to Leamington.

I'll NEVER, EVER, EVER, I mean NEVER go to New Zealand AGAIN! the girls are strange, and the weather is REALLY unpredictable. PLUS, I almost drowned in a typhoon in the Tasman Sea, going to Wellington from Australia.

This intrigues me. Curious as to why? I've never been but like Lake Erie destinations. Planning on taking the boat to Pelee this summer for first time. Ever been?

The thread is titled "Where else would you want to visit?" If I only had one choice I probably would pick a game park in Kenya or South Africa. Even though I am a history guy, I would pick something from the natural world.

But the original post stated "once you fly to your country choice, this will be your new home for good." If that is my choice I would probably stay close to home.

Pelee, no. You know I'm a birder. I've been to Point Pelee National Park outside of Leamington a few times. Because of prevailing SW winds blowing across the lake the weather there is more like southern Ohio or Kentucky, e.g., they grow tobacco there.

This is why I asked. Always wanted to go, never found the time. Thanks.

Makes sense. Be close enough to have all the things. But OP didn't say we HAD to leave so if I'm going to leave, it'd be far away for the experience of starting somewhat from scratch. I wouldn't leave just to live the same life but elsewhere. I've got it too good as it is. Even taking friends, family and ownership out of it, I like living in Toledo just as much as anywhere else I've lived and more than most.

I have no desire to live elsewhere. The older I get the more I detest winter and so there are some nice places in the Mediterranean that look appealing but I like high school/college football and baseball too much to leave (and I hate soccer). I can still run down to Florida for several months here so no problem there. Plus, nothing beats a campfire in the fall, Friday night lights followed by a Saturday filled with college football. Nothing I say. ;)

I like them because of all socialist attempts man has tried, these people seem to be at least making a cohesive effort between the people of that region to live modestly yet with modern conveniences. Working together is not pigment dependent. I dont believe they are anymore all one race than the area I live in which is about 93% caucasian.

None of those countries are socialist.

You must NOT have taken the same tour I did? RAIN, RAIN, RAIN, fire on board as we came into port. Girls accepting dates, and then standing us up. And last but CERTAINLY not LEAST, being accosted by a female impersonator. I'll take AUSTRALIA ALL day, EVERY day, thank you very much.

I once saw an episode of BELOW DECK MEDITERRANIAN. And the primary charter guest requested his hometown NFL team on the onboard TV. And after three days of trying, the Chief Steward had had NO LUCK finding his team. They even went into the local city to find the telecast, but STILL, NO JOY! He said that it was the FIRST time in his life, that he would miss one of their games.

Bigfoot lives up around Puget Sound. I saw a banana slug. Not remotely the same thing.

BUT, BUT, BUT, the greatest number of Bigfoot per capita are in tiny Adel/Cook County, Georgia, Population 10,000 in the entire county. There was a segment on 'The Truth is Out There' recently, as a follow up to a sighting in this family's backyard, on the show sometime in the past. And ten years later, the kid who has now grown into a young man, says that he has spotted a family of at LEAST TWENTY of those big ole furry buggers, in the vast expanse of woods behind his house. After repeatedly filming them on backyard trail cams. He SAYS that he'd thought about moving but has since come to grips with a peaceful coexistence. WHO KNEW!!!

But the flip side of this is, his house is twenty miles from MY house in Colquitt County. o_O HOPEFULLY, they aren't into migration. I thought, odd that they'd congregate in such a relatively confined spot versus the Appalachians in North Georgia. But after thinking about the Bigfoot's plight. Where ELSE could they find a better habitat? 1000's of relatively uninhabited acres for his lil brood. And PLENTY of food and veggies. (cattle, domesticated hogs, black bear, gators, wild boar, goats, horses, deer, Burmese Pythons, crappy, largemouth bass, corn, peaches, pecans, apples, grapes, spinach, kale, scuppernongs, cucumbers, tomatoes, and slow Democrats. In addition, to tons of creeks, rivers, ponds, and lakes, to wash down their booty.)
