Disneylove- Ahhh that sounds just perfect! It must be lovely living so close to the beach. I'm from Toronto but yes, Montreal is a great city. My favourite place in Quebec is Quebec City, it is a walled city and you feel like you've stepped into France when you're there.

Vancouver is also lovely, as is the east coast, out in PEI in the summers.
I'm not too far from Buffalo, we go there often to shop because we don't have Target up here! Oh, and we eat at IHOP too!
Joan, I've never been to Oregon. Those summers sound perfect though! Papa Beach is such a cute name.
Jane, you do such a great job of replying to everyone! I really am impressed! Wow, congrats to your daughter on finishing med school, what an awesome accomplishment! I actually would like to elope. Just looking at all the wedding planning sites and magazines sends me over the edge. It looks like so much work and worry and $$!
Janet- Glad your daughter is looking forward to 7th grade! I didn't go to middle school (my elementary school went right up to 8th grade) but I was terrified of starting high school. My mom pretty much had to shove me in the door the first day.
Pakey, I'm like you, I don't know anyone either! I'm sure glad you're here though!

I'm also curious to know where you're thinking of retiring!
Hi Disneydiva!!
