The only place I've been to that has really left an impression would be Colorado, northern specifically. I spent a couple of weeks in UK. I didn't do any sightseeing though. I just stayed in the village where my friends (to-be family) lived. I went across to visit my fiancee (now wife of 7+ yrs). I liked it alot and I loved the area where we were. I enjoyed driving from town to town and seeing what little countryside I did see. I never saw any of the coastal areas though, just the interior stuff. Great country, wonderful people, and Guinness of course. My wife was born in Scotland. Her father a Scotsman, and her mother Welsh. Since we got married she never had a chance to go back home until this past 2009 summer. I sent her and our two kids over for 3 months. After going back and visiting I think she decided that USA was more home now. She has even talked about going the citizen route which was nowhere on her mind before their 3 month visit. I guess it helps that her father has gone that direction. He is now a resident of Pennsylvania and a soon-to-be USA citizen. If I wanted to move to UK then she would go in a heartbeat but I'm not budging. I'm born and bred in these here United States and I plan on staying here unless something else comes along to change my mind. I don't know what that would be though.It's funny, I can always tell when she's been on the phone with her mother...because her accent comes back. I love the brits for lots of things but there is not better place than America (as long as the government doesn't screw it all up...another board).
