I live north of Boston now. I liked everything about NH but the governmental infrastructure, and I like everything about eastern MA but the environment. Hm... David – Sadly, no, I’m not in NH.

So we could eat out, swim in the hotel pool, walk bricktown in OKC, shop. It was something we don't get to do often. I LOVE MY COUNTRY though. It was nice to be home after 2 nights in the big city.

Cities are great, don't get me wrong. But I just cannot actually relax and rejuvenate in the city, whereas here I can do it every day. SavvyChristine - I grew up in Mass, went to school in VA, then LA, now NM. Are you still in NH?

Having the conveniences of city living is nice, but there's something to be said for silence and stillness. I miss it. Now I know why the traffic to NH on the weekends is so horrible -- it's because no one can relax in Massachusetts. Where were you before LA?

We loved it so much, we're going back in June. Posh hotel, leisurely coffees...urban escape is my idea of a vacation too, Kristen. :) My husband and I went from our town of 5000 to a city of 600,000 for a vacation together in ‘07.

I grew up in the country. I hated it. I still don't live in a downtown area, but I moved as close to the city as I could get. I work right in a city. My husband's job has a residency requirement, so we have to stay where we are. The country is quiet and relaxing. I do appreciate it more now that I'm older. But I love cities.
