Anybody fancy a 4 year vacation?

[tuigirl]

Nice idea, going away for 4 years, but surely the UK is not the place to escape Mr Bush's influences...no..somewhere else far away to get away! I propose a mass Ledgie exodus to Australia / NZ some remote sheep farm/hippie community on the Gold Coast.....XXXX anyone?

God, I would love to move to Wales - I love Welsh! I've been trying to learn some of the basics of it on the net, but damn if it isn't difficult (plus I'm not too good with languages.)

New Zealand or Australia would also be great!

Haha...OK Lux, although I suspect we might get past immigration, a bit more easily than everyone else (assuming you and me both, have a blue passport).
Oh, and lets not forget, there's a lady running the country..can't be half bad!
BTW..I heard on BBC radio, just yesterday, that the NZ website, has had 10,000 hits from Americans since the election results....hmmmm, seems wer'e not alone!!!

I want to live in Edoras

Actually, fair warning is given herein to the Aussie and NZ Ledgies - I am most likely going to Australia and NZ for a week or two next Summer. Be forewarned and start taking your vitamens now so as to be prepared for the pub crawl (dare I use the plural) when I arrive. I am lucky in that a friend got transfered for two years for work to Sydney; can you say FREE PLACE TO STAY

More details to follow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I just read in some magazine yesterday that Bradd Pitt and Jennifer Aniston are going to move to Europe..haha..

I'm only about an hour from Canada...a definite improvement from only seven months ago when I was only 45 minutes from Mexico

How do you like it up there? I have a friend who is from Rochester and loves it there but I've never been. Gosh it's freezing in Boston today. I am still wondering what happened to summer and winter is here! Ugh.

Wherever Brad winds up, I am heading for.

WE CAN REBUILD THEM

Thanks for the info though!!!!!

BTW PJ has Bilbo's house at his house, I think remember reading that

[estranged4life]

the local CBS affiliate's newsanchor read some emails sent in about this issue...One was rather F**ked up:

"If people like the self-appointed liberal Michael Moore would emigrate and never come back, those of us in 'Jesusland' would be forever happy"

I still cannot believe someone somewhere here in the U.S. of Assholes committed suicide after Bush was re-elected cause this person couldnt take another 4 years, Man that is the ultimate "surrender"

It's a nice place to far - very different than where I'm from - but I'm enjoying it I've met some really cool people so that always helps

I can't wait to go check Canada out - I have been to Niagara Falls - but that's super touristy so I'm hoping to visit Toronto soon..

You know - I swear it seems everyone I talk to either has family/friends or once lived in Rochester - very stange indeed haha..

LOL. If we build them...Strand will come.
Yeah, I knew Mr. Jackson had Bag-End. I'm so insanely jealous!

Even without all the LOTR sets, I'd still love to see New Zealand. It's such a beautiful country!

[tuigirl]

Strand...I would hope you do more than just pub crawl your way around OZ and NZ..there's quite a bit more to do than that you know
Yes, please keep us all informed about what your'e up to when you go......
I believe too Mr Jackson, had some of the Hobbittown reconstructed at his house, coz he couldn't bear to see them torn down...also....I think I read that there are guided tours around LOTR sites, so that might be worth a looksee as well
