I want to move to England
Or, maybe, Germany.

If only I could win the Lotto!

1. I'm with ya!
I think it would be neat to spend a few years in Europe. I was born over there, and it would be nice to go back.

3. I was stationed in Frankfurt, and visited England
I liked the, well, less puritnanistic attitude over there. They wouldn't have jumped out of their pants over Janet popping out of her shirt.

5. I was born in Greece and lived in Fulda, Germany.
I left when I was 4 and haven't been overseas since.

Been a while. I went to Iraq, but don't want to go back there.

9. Not exactly a garden spot, eh?
I'm saving airline miles for a free international trip. I'm over 2/3 there. :)

12. I was in Zachu, near the mountains.
It was actually very pretty country. It was sad. When I was there in '91, the people were pretty nice to us, with some exceptions.

Now, the troops have it much worse.

Hope you enjoy your trip, when you go. If you go to London, check out the Cabinet War Bunker. The tour is pretty interesting!

14. It'll be a few years, I think.
But I'd like to spend a LONG time there and see as much of Europe as I can.

I'm a WWII geek, so that bunker would be neat.

19. Yes, it was really neat!
I also saw the bunkers under Berchesgaden in Germany, under Goering's house, etc. Saw where Hitler the bastard lived and pulled a rock off of what must have been his garage, because everything else was blown up. I have it in my display shelf. It was amazing to see the mountains up there, how beautiful it was. It was shocking that quite possibly the most evil human being alive lived there. I have never seen a place so gorgeous, and I am a bit well traveled.

20. I'd like to follow the route of the 101st in WWII someday.
Start in Normandy and end up in Berlin.

As I said, I am a WWII geek. :)

2. my English girlfriend
hates this administration but loves living in this country. I'd advise you to speak with a few English transplants first.

I do however understand your sentiment.

4. I would only go if I won the Lotto.
I have a decent job, and I am close to my family here. I just enjoyed Europe.

You'll have more money than the Saudi Royal Family.
