If you do ever eventually get to England, I recommend that you dont live in London, but head to the east midlands. I'd really suggest Lincoln.:DQuote:

I've actually been here!!! I was in Lincoln with some friends and we stopped at Cahoots just so we could say we were "in cahoots" with each other. :) We were quite pleased with ourselvesQuote:

Then you should really come and live here. It's hot all year :lol: We have like one month or so that can be cold. And even during that, we normally have a hot day but it gets cold at night. But trust me, it gets boring after a while..lolQuote:

YES!!! This is actually the sort of place I have in mind! But I want to be a little closer to the big city. I could easily live in a place like this, but I need to be close enough to London (even an hour away isn't too bad), or a place like Liverpool or Birmingham or even Manchester. I would like to live in a town like this, but I kind of need my "city life", too. :) I, at least, need easy access (meaning, not a day's drive away) to the city. :) What is the closest city to Lincoln? Isn't it Nottingham? If I would end up in a town like this (if not exactly this one :) ), I would then have to decide whether I would want to live in a town near a big city (which I always lean towards) or a small city. Oh, decisions, decisions! :DQuote:

After that it's off to South Africa and maybe some cage diving with great white sharks - ouch. From there I would make my up the West coast and spend a lot of time in the rain forests of Gabon.
Finally Morocco and a cycle tour of Tenerife in the Canary Islands before returning to the US.
:) I am from Bavaria....It's nice to hear people who liked it here....although I am actually kind of annoyed of this bavarian desert :PQuote:

Lincoln is not too far from Nottingham or Sheffield, but I'm not sure these two have had the sort of urban regeneration those others have.
Its about 40 mins by train from Nottingham. and not that far from Sheffield. Probably 1-2 hours from London. And its technically a city. I only showed you pics of steep hill and the square up by the castle and the Cathedral.:DQuote:
