Live in Hawaii, Florida, or California

[Captain Iago]

I'd live in Cali...Hawaii to me is just a good vacation spot.

Florida I dislike because it gave me George W. Bush, The Florida Gators winning national titles, and Rex Grossman.

Cali..I've been there a few times...No real complaints. The state is bankrupt..but so is this state.

But isn't that the point? How sweet would it be to live comfortably everyday in a place where others can only afford a vacation?

I flew from Maui to Oahu to spend a day there. That was all that was needed for me as it's basically going to a city (aside from visiting Pearl Harbor). What was neat as hell was seeing people commute there for work. Blew me away. Instead of always doing a 40 minute drive that I'm accustomed to, I'd love to do a < 30 minute flight.

The point of a vacation is to be short and sweet...after awhile..its just the same old thing over and over again...If you like it that way all the time..more power to you..Personally I would like to enjoy it for like 2 weeks...then come back another time for 2 weeks again. Thats just me though.

Because you get island fever. You can only see other islands so many times before it gets old. The food in Hawaii is limited, while some of it is very good. The tourism ruins the place for someone who wants to live there for more than a year, and the samoans are extremely territorial. I love Hawaii, don't get me wrong, but living there was awful. It's like being a bird, living in a cage, a well decorated cage.

A beautifully calm 85 degrees day in and day out? How horribly repetitive that is....and come back and spend 50 weeks in shitty Illinois over and over again? I think I'll pass.

The only thing keeping my in this fucking shithole of a state is I love both of my families and would hate being so far away from all of them.

I understand we're talking personal preference here and if this isn't what you prefer, so be it. I'd prefer the former over the ladder..even if it is as repetitive as you say.

Orlando? Seriously? You have got to be joking, its a dump.

Disney World is a dump?

50 weeks in shitty Illinois is my favorite But I love Chicago.

4 seasons, all walks of life, all kinds of food, all kinds of industry. The only thing we don't have is an ocean, but Lake Michigan isn't a bad substitute, and we don't have mountains.

I agree with you. If I was independently wealthy or decided to start my own company that I could run from Hawaii, I'd be there in a second.

You may be right. I'm not one to travel, so maybe I'd end up feeling the same I do here, landlocked in this god forsaken state. But, ****, if I could give it a shot, I would. My ideal weekends/summer vacations are chillin' with family and friends, playing games, and/or smoking and drinking around a fire. Or, maybe that works well with my ideal life in Hawaii (if my friends/loved ones were there) and I wouldn't get island fever as I don't have an affinity to travel.

Lake Michigan is a disgusting substitute for an ocean? Get real.

As for all walks of life, Chicago definitely has that. 300 pound black women who talk loud and fart louder..

Disney World is a dump?

Congrats, you found one amusement park and the major employer in the area. Central Florida is a shithole. Florida is great if you live in the right part. So many nice places. Central Florida isn't one of them.

As far as the choice, it really depends. Hawaii and Cali are pricey. Florida is cheap. It depends on your financial situation.

 

[Crystallas]

Lake Michigan is one of the cleanest OPEN fresh water sources in the world. It's great, and Oceans aren't always so perfect and clean either. I'm not saying Lake Michigan > Sandy Beach Hawaii.... but I am saying that its something, and not nothing... like major cities that don't border a huge body of water.

Orlando isn't too far away from decent beaches and then you have Disney World which is some pretty decent entertainment and blows pretty much everything out of the water.

I'm not saying there aren't better options in Florida but I think to call Orlando a dump is a bit harsh.

Lake Michigan is NOT clean.. I'm not sure where you're getting that info from. I've heard some things that make my stomach crawl.

It's good for a view if you're lucky enough to have a condo situated around Lake Shore Drive, that's it.

Don't ruin this thread.

Orlando is a dump. I personally like Tampa.

Hell, I'd pass on both and move to the coast of the Carolinas.

Caribbean > Hawaii too.

If I really had to pick a sunny paradise, I would just move to Cancun.

True, I would miss winter. I love cold, breathable air.
