Hi there,

I'm not from North Carolina, but I've been living in Greensboro for the past 5 years or so.  If everything works out as it is somewhat-planned, I'll be living in Nottingham sometime next fall :)

The next time my BF is here, i was thinking of taking him out to asheville, since we still haven't been to the Biltmore Estate yet--and it seems everyone who's coupled up in this state goes there at some point in the relationship!  ;)

I'm already over here (living in Cambridge) but I grew up in Greensboro and went to school in Chapel Hill.  I love Asheville!  If we ever move back to the States, Asheville is one of my top considerations for where to end up!

Sounds like a plan :)  Birmingham is awesome... Have you had a chance to go to Cadbury World yet?  Man I about died and gone to heaven in that place... they practically had to drag me away!

i think they're around 3 hours by train?  i've found that the trains between most cities aren't very good and that it's usually easier to meet someone in london, since most places have better rail links to london.  i have a friend who lives in nottingham and even though cambridge is technically closer, she can get to london way easier than cambridge. 

i have heard that asheville has been through a lot of changes...it seems many places in north carolina have been.  i'm always in shock whenever i go back at how much things have changed!

i think london is a perfect meeting place......all the art museums etc.......i have to learn how to do the buses and trains.........yea asheville just isnt asheville anymore......we have 3 super walmarts, 2 targets, 2 petsmarts, etc. .........you would not even reconize airport road.......its really is saddening.......even in the mtns so many abandoned developments......gated communities.......even if i werent heading to the uk i would be leaving here........id go to hot springs.....that hasnt changed much at all......only 45 minutes away
