My mind gets active when I have nothing to do, so while the site was down I started thinking about travel. I've always wanted to see California and one day I will, but I began to wonder 'Is it all it's cracked up to be?'
I think one of the reasons California looks so appealing is that it's always hyped in the movies and on TV - good weather, beautiful people, easy lifestyle, rust-free teeners. But the flipside of that is overcrowding, high cost of living, gang violence and smog. I know that every place has it's qualities (southwestern Ontario - clean cities, safe neighbourhoods, high standard of living, gorgeous summers) and we all live where we live for a reason. But every winter all I want to do is get away. I hate the snow and the cold. So tell me, is California all it's cracked up to be? For those of you born there, would you rather live somewhere else? For those of you who moved there, was it worth it? |

My wife was born and raised in Toronto... As she tells it, she was always jealous of all the americans that get to choose weather they want to live in cold or hot or tropical Hawaii for that matter.... I met here in Hawaii and she snagged me and now gets to live in the warmth year round down her in So Cal.
She gets pangs for Canada now and again... but that is fixed by visiting the cold... My father in law arrived 2-days ago for his mid winter 6-week stay with us... If we let him... he would live with us year round! Your milage may very. - Dave |
