    Has anyone moved to adjourn?

    where should I look? Might go to Pennsylvania so I'm not too far from the ancestral homeland (jerz.)

    Hello,

    Many years ago, whilst in the military, I went to Canada on an exercise (as many Brits do).
    I had the pleasure, when we had 10 days of R&R, to visit a few places, admittedly just fleeting visits. The one place that always stuck in my mind is, Banff. I also visited Calgary (watched the rodeo), Jasper and several other places, but Banff has always stayed with me.
    The waking up to fresh air and the thought of seeing a bear, maybe, or the roads which seem to be as wide as our motorways, or maybe it was the maple syrup on pancakes that I remember as if it was yesterday. Either way, I'd live their tomorrow.
    My wife says she would love to live in Italy, and when she told me, I said to her, 'That's a bit of a bugger, then', she asked why, so I said, 'You may have to catch connecting flights to come visit me'. I had to go buy another rolling pin, as the one she threw at me smashed against the wall. That's women for ya. :lol:

Mdina is the real deal, a medieval walled city - not too many of them around. The local cuisine isn't outstanding but the bread, fruit, fish and vegetables are excellent.

    There are things against it, too. It's very popular with gangsters. There is a tradition of shooting and eating everything that flies. The language is really challenging. But there's nowhere that doesn't have some problems.
    Welcome to the forum! It's always nice to have new members join. Malta sounds like an interesting place. Have you ever been there? What are some of your favorite things about it?
