Should John McCain ever become President of the United States of America, I wouldn’t mind getting the hell out of dodge. Forth joked about it once, but I, the one with the disposable job, am fer seriously:
FRANCE: J’taime la France. I can speak it a little (3 years in high school reduced to two notebook pages full of remaining knowledge) and I’ve always wanted to go. So, why not live?
SWITZERLAND: The country is tiny and neutral and Forth has some beautiful pictures from when he visited in high school, so why not? Besides, I hear their army knives and drinking water are the best around.
MYKONOS: I will never be able to afford a Grecian honeymoon, but maybe we can live there instead? I could eat Mediterranean food all day. All. Damn. Day. Oh, and the architecture is astounding.
So there you have it: my expatriate destination dream list, lest this country come under the control of a wheezy old gun-toting, tech illiterate coot. I thought of adding London, but that’s overdone. And God knows I could never live in Canada.

I was setup to leave for Australia in ‘04 when I was shocked that the election went the way it did. I still have my eye on there, or New Zealand as my expat destination. NZ so I, like Dwight, could walk the trail of LotR, plus there’s NO liability. That means like, no frivolous lawsuits. Awesome.

I hear the Scandinavian countries are beautiful and their people are some of the happiest in the world. There is a book out called The Geography of Bliss but I can’t find who is #1. I’ll have to ask someone at work tomorrow. There is a teacher who uses it in her Social Change Through Literature class.
