I'm near Barrie, ON, heading to Chicago.

I am from Midland! Pretty close to Barrie. I am currently visiting in Canada and was actually in Barrie last week.

I did live in London Ontario for 2 years when I went to Fanshawe College way back in 2000-2002. Loved it there! I am currently living in Annapolis MD. Anyone going to the DC area????

You may want to check out the map in the attached thread. It's been a while since we discussed this. I think it will be fun to add a few more names to the list. http://www.visajourney.com/forums/

Born in and raised Welland.....can't believe there are so many of us with previous ties to Welland.....is this world really that small?

Moved to Hamilton in my 20's and been here since.....once this is finalized I'll be making roots in Reno NV!!!! Yahoo.

I'm very happy to leave the clouds, humidity and grey days behind.....Reno is reported to have 360 days of sunshine each year and there is always a breeze thanks to the Sierras.

Right now I just absolutely love this old song by Alabama that says "If you're gonna play in Texas..."

Love Windsor, but Texas is probably too durn hot and deserty for me.
