Can you tell I'm trying to get this place hoppin'? =)

I live in Kentucky but grew up right across the river in West Virginia.

I have lived 20 miles southeast of New Orleans for 43 of my 46 yrs. Enjoyed the local Cajun cuisine way too much and paying the price.

I am blessed to live in beautiful, sunny San Diego!! I won't tell you how warm it is today. Don't want Rhaps throwing me any cyber-snowballs...lol!!

BigUnc...I love the cajun food....my dad is from Louisiana. A little bitty town located near DeQuincy called Fields, LA. The Saints are great, love them...although not over my boys!! ha!! LSU is an awesome school, I pulled for them in the BCS game. My daughter is checking into transfering there next year. That'd be so cool if she went to a school with an awesome football team. Even though I don't watch a lot of college & the pros are my thing, it'd still be cool. My daughter doesn't like football (I believe she was switched at birth because every human being in my family that still has a pulse is a football fanatic) so I told her yeah....apply to LSU. ha!!! When she did some research on it, she became more interested. I'd love to go to New Orleans, never been.

Grew up in Chicago area - a happy Hoosier now (Go Colts!). Live just north of Indy in the subdivision right behind my surgeon's office! Who knew health was less than a mile away the whole 7 years I've lived here!

I live in Lexington, SC (right outside Columbia). I grew up in Spartanburg, SC and have lived in a couple of other towns in this state. I lived in California for a year when I was small and in Colorado for 2 years in my 20's. I love SC, though! I'm 1 1/2 hrs from the beach and 1 1/2 hrs from the mountains! And where else can you use your heat and a/c in the same day?

Most of my live was spent in the Metro Detroit area, but I've been in Ohio for 4.5 years and I LOVE it. Maybe not the winter weather so much, but otherwise.

From October - April I'm pretty much vowing to move to Florida. But the rest of the months I'm happy. LOL

I love Alaska. It's my favorite place in the world. Been there twice on business and am always awed by the beauty there. What do you do for work Leather?

I'm a high school teacher. What part of Alaska did you visit? You should bring family (or friends) up and go down to Homer and go out Halibut fishing, its pretty cheap to do and lots of fun. Plus fish is good for us bandsters.

Leather:

how long have you been banded? I see you just joined the forum in January, me too. I was banded Oct/07 (Halloween). I love my band. I've lost 35 lbs.

I was banded on February 14th. I'm starting to love my band too, its not doing all the work for me but it sure is helping me manage my eating better. Im still new at it but so far this is great!

Leather, I'm jealous of you too! My grandfather had the privilege of visiting every state in the U.S. and he told me Montana was the most beautiful by far. Because of what he said I got it in my head when I was little that I wanted to move to Montana and be a rancher. I've never even been on a horse! :confused2:

Alaska is nice but I'm with your grandpa, I think Montana is the best, I really really love it there. And as for horses go, don't even bring that up, I SO miss riding when I am up here in Alaska working:sad:. Too cold for horses where I work so I can only do that when I'm home. Luckily I do spend a lot of time in Montana and when Im there I ride every day.

Now that you guys know I'm a HS teacher don't judge me for my spelling.

cowboyfsan if you ever have the oppourtunity you need to visit NO. Great city with a great history. On weekends this time of year my DW and I like to spend the day walking thru the French Quarter. Its nice weather without being humid and hot. If you like music, shopping, good food (I know not something us banders need to hear) and site seeing then you will love the Quarter. We plan to go this Sunday with my Kids and their SOs.

A word of caution, NO is like any other tourist attraction, expensive. Be prepared to shell out money for everything you do.

I will have to change up our routine a little. After walking around awhile 1st, We usually have a big lunch, kick back listen to good music and enjoy the sites. This time I'll have a "little lunch" than go from there.

I am a big sports fans also. Saints and LSU are tops on my list, but I do follow the Hornets and Zephyrs also. I try to go to one away game every year for both the Saints and LSU.

I am blessed to live in beautiful, sunny San Diego!! I won't tell you how warm it is today. Don't want Rhaps throwing me any cyber-snowballs...lol!!

I live in San Antonio Texas - GO SPURS GO. I too would love to take a trip to Alaska. I've seen some awesome pics taken on some cruises in the area. I have an uncle who lives in Chelan Washington and I'm hoping to make my way up there in the next year or two. If I do that, Alaska's right around the corner.
