Welcome to BE fellow Yorkie.

Quite a few of the people posting in the US forums live in the Sunshine State...several in Miami.

We lived in Clifton Moor, still have our house there which we are renting out. We haven't been back yet as we have 'only' been here 22 months, we were hoping to go back next year but I don't think we will be able to afford it, there is still so much to see here too

How are you finding life down in Miami? Other than the lack of English speaking I have never been down that far yet but we hope too at some point.

Whitbys come up in a few threads recently....fish n chips, kippers etc I'm from Guisborough, so not far away. I was at the pub at the top of the bank down into Whitby in February for my sisters wedding. The place was looking good with a light dusting of snow....

Oh right clifton moor eh, good shopping there , I sold my house as I couldn't be doing with the hassle collecting rent etc, I think it's cheaper to buy tickets from the uk rather than from the US, well it is with British airways I payed 325 return from Newcastle---->heathrow----->Miami but that was just me, it gets expensive if there's a few of ya.

Yeah Miami is ok, different living here rather than a tourist, it's expensive especially accommodation and car insurance, the weather is better than home tho, I haven't been anywhere else in the US so don't have anything to compare it to, you should visit tho it's a cool place

The last holiday that I had before I became an expat was in Whitby, well when I say holiday it really was a delayed honeymoon. I have relatives there and every holiday as a kid was spent there, I had sent pictures to my then to be future wife and she really wanted to go there. We had a great week staying on the old side of the harbor, that place has hardly changed in the many years that we have been going there. Do you know the Keyworth's at all, they are my relations over there.

What's his name? I'm from Harrogate too. Would be funny if we knew each other! I went to Granby High School, and was a frequent visitor to the Blues Bar. Mostly worked downtown at Lawyer's offices. I live in Augusta, Ga now.

I'm from Harrogate! Been to Knaresborough loads of times. My friends own the Worlds End pub. Sometimes I do miss it, but I'm settled here in Georgia. Would be nice to get together with a bunch of Yorkshire people though, just to talk about old times and places we remember.
