BigHon, oddly enough, my aunt more less said the same thing. She lived all over the US when she was married to a man in the Forces. She lived in the Carolinas, Alaska, Hawaii, France ect and presently in Washington St. She said the weather in Hawaii was nice but monotonous and she always wished she were back in Alaska which she enjoyed the most. To each his/her own...I'm sure others might say the opposite.

Half of communication is listening. You can't listen with your mouth.
