A good friend of mine who I have been friends with longer than any of my friends moved to San Diego from NY 45 years ago.He loved living there.My wife and I were there 4 times over the years.Much to my surprise my friend moved to Oregon about 4 years ago.
The granddaughter of one of my friends is finishing her first year at URI.She loves being there.My son in law Eric grew up in Maryland and everyone believed that he would be going to college at the Univ of MD but he surprised them and went to UVA.
If by any chance it was Hofstra my youngest daughter went there for a second graduate degree after going to an upstate college for undergraduate and fist Masters.
In the early 70’s my wife and I would do summer day trips to the Hamptons ,Sunken Meadow State Park and Montauk Point nearly every summer .Those were our exotic vacations .Since be moved to LI in 2003 we have not been to any of those places.
I actually have heard of Tucker.I have relatives in Dunwoody which is very close.
Re Indiana,a friend of mine who grew up in NYC as I did played for the Indiana Pacers many years ago and would frequently have discussions with his teammates about the foods he ate in NY that they were not familiar with and vice versa.
I am totally disabled and will never again have the opportunity to spend any time in a hotel.
I was not refuting anything you said only to clarify that not every place of lodging that may charge by 5he hour is in business for sexual dalliances.
Not implying that it is but there are many people that go to business meetings in different locations where they are making presentations .
I would at times go by Amtrak with the President of the company I worked for to cities all over the east coast.We would take Amtrak to the city and book a hotel close to our destination to finalize our presentation .We booked a room for two hours usually .There were always people there for the same reason.
Tomorrow is the third anniversary of this thread as you posted a few days ago.Since it is not likely that CC will pipe in music my suggestion is that at a designated time taking in consideration the time difference from those not living in the US we pour a drink of our favorite beverage and do a Toast to Dani for starting this great tread .
