Heaven On Earth
I think we've found our heaven on earth. For the past six years, we've been spending more and more time in The USA, mostly in Tennessee but three years ago we went to Florida. No not Disneyland. We found a small rental property in Titusville on the shores of the Indian River lagoon, right opposite Cape Canaveral space port. It's 15 paces from fabulous fishing and 15 minutes from Playalinda naturist beach. Now we spend 3 months of every year there. Anyone else found their heaven on earth?

Re: Heaven On Earth
An American was visiting Scotland and dropped into a small kirk. He was suprrized to see a red telephone and a notice "direct line to heaven - all calls 5p." Intrigued, he asked the minister why it was so cheap and was told "Well, that's because it's only a local call" !I've visited a number of US states, but didn't care for the part of Florida that I saw (Miami and north to Fort Luderdale area). I'd like to spend more time in Germany in the Rhine & Mosel valleys.

Re: Heaven On Earth
Florida is like anywhere else George. A city is a city, just the accent changes. We've also visited several states over there but prefer South of the Mason Dixon line. We try to avoid the tourist traps and find the true Southern hospitality. We have a friend over there who summed it up perfectly. South of the line, you have hospitality, go North and you've got attitude. The South will rise again

Re: Heaven On Earth
Same here but it's nice to have two heavens. I wrote this when we moved into our new flat.OUR LITTLE NEST
In all of my lifetime I never thought I would be
In a small piece of heaven called Nyth Bach Ni
A haven of peace free from life's wear and tear
And a beautiful love bird who waits for me there
A shelter to protect me from the storms of this life
A warm peaceful harbour and a sweet loving wife
That welcoming green door thats leads me to bliss
I never knew life could be as perfect as this
Nyth Bach Ni is Welsh for our little nest

Re: Heaven On Earth
Some years ago, we went as a family to the US, hired a cadillac and travelled across the northern states, largely avoiding the tourist spots. It was great - we were treated to great friendliness by the locals who didn't get a lot of tourists from across the pond.Most of my work time in the states was spent in Minnesota and Rhode Island. I enjoyed both, but I preferred the two years that I lived & worked in Germany.
