    Some areas can be quite dreary much of the year, but it makes up for it with the lush landscape!. but you will find sunshine as well. You'll find palm trees in some areas in the south... not what you would normally think of when you think England!

    I live in Washington state. I am 4 miles from the Canadian border and sadly have not visited in years. We are the main port of entery on the eastern side of Washington state and our town has absolutely no stop signs or lights running north-south through the mile and a half long city limits. The first McDonalds coming through from Canada is at the first stop light on the left which is actually 50 miles and 3 towns away!

    I think so, not sure hon.

    We lived in Bristol very near NJ (Trenton) while I was employed with US steel. My son was born there.

    I concur. Really Sneezy- why even throw Trenton in the mix? It pales next to Hong Kong.

    Wow, sounds about the size of my town! Do you have to get new licences or passports for your border? I wasn't sure if it was for all the borders. We have to get all new licences or we can't enter Canada starting June.

    I think he's talking about the Broncos beating the Bears... football... if I'm not mistaken.

    Although, I'm not a big fan of either teams, so I didn't follow them at all...
