    well?

    for me?

    not ireland

    I think Amsterdam - tho I've never been there - but apparently it has a reputation as a fun town.

    And Miami - I've also never been there, but is looks super fun on tv.

    Not London.
    Not Rome.
    Not Chicago.

    That I know.

    Knots Landing. Never been there, not even sure it exists, but it looked lovely on tv in the 90s...

    Somewhere people write in neither text speak nor American English.

    Carmel or Monterey... Love love love California. Short spin up the coast to SanFran. Quick 45 min flight to Vegas the odd weekend. Or head down the coast to LA/Malibu/Santa Monica.

    A small log cabin in the Rocky mountains, Grizzly Adams style, where I could be self sufficient and enjoy just fishing all day. Completely off the grid, not even so much as a landline telephone.

    In Ireland - Dingle

    Anywhere else - Hundred Islands, Philippines

    So, where would we NOT like to live? Hard to judge two places you have never even been to.


    For me, I couldn't and wouldn't want anywhere but Ireland. Having visited every continent in my time, if I had to choose somewhere else, it would be rural New Zealand.

    Happy enough where I am
    But would love a holiday home on the beach somewhere sunny and quiet one of those fancy Pacific island gaffs with a private beach
    That'd do me nicely. Must buy lotto tickets!!!

    Byrd Station at Marie Byrd Land in Western Antarctica just East of the Ross Ice Shelf. Stunning.

    Yes indeed, but it can be very wet there at times.

    Sorrento in Italy is gorgeous.

    A curse to drive around the area or in nearby Naples though.

    A tropical island, but still within reach of civilisation when need be. Somewhere like the Maldives, Tahiti or Bora Bora.

    It does exist. Aka Crystalaire Pl Granada Hills, CA 91344 USA.

    Apparently still looks much the same. Unlike in the TV show it's not close to the beach at all. That was just an illusion.

    Would be great to have Abby Cunningham Ewing Summer as a next door neighbour. Never a dull moment.

    Spent an unforgettable 2 weeks on the Caribbean island of St Marteen. While not over developed it has plenty of fine bars and restaurants and hotels, stunning beaches, extremely laid back lifestyle and the coolest airport on a beach in the world. Nearly cried going home, still miss it 10 years later.

    I've lived in a few countries. New Zealand is lovely, but quite boring, and the people aren't as friendly and are no craic compared to us lot in Ireland. Australia was great with the lifestyle etc but too far away really. Canada was just f*cking freezing and dull so no thanks.
    Dublin for me is perfect as my folks live nearby and all my friends are here. That's what's important. Plus if I want the sun it's 2 hours on a Ryanair flight.
