I'm looking forward to moving to Tokyo next week, but my excitement is nearly matched by the sadness of leaving a state I've come to love. These two years have been amazing -- the food, the weather, the people, the trees, the simple life.Originally posted by pellegrino View PostUnfortunately no. I've said it before, and I'll say it again, if we had the chance to move to NC (just about anywhere, but preferably the triangle or the triad) we'd do it in a heartbeat. We're moving to Baltimore this summer and that's probably as close as we'll get, but we'll keep our fingers crossed. As is we'll be only 5-6 hours from our favorite beaches, and a good holiday meal with family and friends. I can live with that, even though I terribly miss the scent of the pines on a warm evening. We went back to visit last summer. I went outside to unload our car our first night there and tears nearly came to my eyes as I breathed in the sultry scent of the pines. There's nothing like the smell of North Carolina pines. It's simultaneously maddening and soothing and it calls out "Welcome Home."
I'll be back here in two years.Visca Catalunya Lliure

Your poetic description of NC describes perfectly why I love the North Georgia, Carolinas, North Alabama, Eastern Tennessee region.........moonlight through the pines.....and feeling of being home.Originally posted by pellegrino View PostUnfortunately no.

I applied at every Spanish position at a NC school when I went on the job market."Wuap's "problem" is that he is smart & principled & committed to a moral course of action. His actions are supposed to reflect his ethical code.
The rest of us rarely bother to think about our actions." --Solon

I thought N. Carolina was beautiful when I drove through it, but I am envious that you will be living in Baltimore simply because you'll be near Camden. Please catch some Orioles games for me.Originally posted by pellegrino View PostUnfortunately no.
