SXM--State Poll - TravelTalkOnline

It would be interesting to know how many people on this great board come from each state or provence or where ever.I would guess that NY,NJ,and Ma have the most.Since Canada is so small [Linked Image]

, all Provences could be lumped together.Likewise WV and VA are one state [Linked Image]

.States with North Or South could be lumped together or with the second name.Of course the rest of the world is all one place except SXM every vote from there counts as 5or10. [Linked Image]

[color:blue]Hey Augie I'll get it started...since I'd love to know too! I grew up in CT...My husband Bob grew up in MA (the last place we lived was MA)butbrush]<big> [color:6495ed] HOME is SXM </big> & has been for 7 1/2 yrs.

I tried to be creative but I think it's too late tonight! [Linked Image]

...It's been a long day [Linked Image]

... So just in case you happen to look up the town "butbrush" in MA [Linked Image]

to see where it is [Linked Image]

...It doesn't exist [Linked Image]

...I just screwed up typing!!!!! [Linked Image]

I think I should get 10 points[img]/images/icons/thumbsup.gif[/img] just for that! I'd better quit while I'm ahead![img]/images/icons/laugh.gif[/img]

Southeastern Mass

Southern Mass also, on the Rhode Island border. [Linked Image]

North of Boston....Peabody, MA....for the past 3 years.....Beverly Farms,MA for 10 yrs....Marblehead,MA 25yrs.... so I'd say.....MA for both of us ( we're native New Englanders which means we hate the cold! ). [Linked Image]

contessa

Boston South Shore

Southwest suburbs of Chicago,IL

Northern suburb of Indianapolis

Grew up in Jersey, now its Fort Lauderdale.

Augie--Beg to differ with you, my man!! We live in Virginia, and believe me, there ain't no way that we claim West Virginia!!!! [Linked Image]

And, since we own this BB, Virginia and West Virginia will be separate states, thank you very much!!!!!! [Linked Image]

Carol

East central Illinois here. [Linked Image]

Dan

About 60 miles north of NYC

North Western New Jersey (no not near the turnpike

Northwest suburbs of Chicago Looks like Illinois is pretty well-represented on this board, too!

Morrison, Colorado just SW of Denver [Linked Image]

Carol,It's about time someone said something about the State thing.The reason I did the State jokes is; Friends from West Virginia told us that when telling someone where they were from,the response was" Oh, I was in Richmond once" Have a great evening, Augie

Benicia, California (Pronounced ben-knee-sha) Half way 'tween SF and Sacramento on the California Delta... [color:blue]Bob! [Linked Image]

Washington, the state.

Arkansas

we are from connecticut..have benn coming home for 13 years and look forward to coming for many more!

A Kansas surburb of Kansas City, where it snows way to offen for me.

In IL by cathyg But close to an airport. Wendell & Sheryl The blacksocks and plaidsocks are coming!!!

South Central PA -- 6 more days till Club O beach [Linked Image]

We're from North Carolina....and that's quite different from South Carolina! And we're probably the only North Carolinians on this board!

Jersey Girl [Linked Image]

Born in West (by God) Virginia. No true Mountaineer would allow himself to be referred to as a Virginian either. Live in Delaware, another state that gets no respect. Once, after telling someone I was from Delaware, I got the response "Isn't that somewhere in Ohio?"

Guess I'll get my two cents in here, too. Went through school on Long Island, NY. Now, Southern Delaware..... we get no respect!! [Linked Image]

Lorrie

Riverhead, East End of Long Island, NY!!!!! [Linked Image]

Connecticut (Meriden, right in the middle of the state). I'm from New Hampshire originally -- Sandy was born in Ohio but moved to CT when he was quite young. I really got a chuckle out of lumping Virginia and West Virginia together. That's like grouping Maine and Connecticut together because they're both in New England. NOT! [Linked Image]

peaceful_one@hotmail.com

Milwaukee, Wisconsin You can feel free to lump us together with all the folks from EastConsin. Just don't refer to us as a northern suburb of Chicago, please. [Linked Image]

Ontario, Canada - and I wouldn't exactly call Canada small, geographically speaking of course! [Linked Image]

Don & Linda

Another vote for Illinois here! [Linked Image]

western "sheecawgo" burbs. We'd have more than any other state, IMHO, if we were lucky enough to have direct flights to SXM and had other reasonable options besides AA!!!! Right Jamie? [Linked Image]

ok, here we go: i've lived in Germany, Texas, California, Turkey, Austria and now live in a western suburb of Chicago with Vlasta, my wife, who has also lived in the Czech Republic, Austria and Washington state. as of Jan 2004 we'll be living the first 6 months of every year in our condo on SXM. [Linked Image]

enjoy, [Linked Image]

We don't know where we are from any more. Both of us were born in NC, but have lived in AL, SC, GA, FL (Miami & Orlando), Myrtle Bch, San Antonio, NJ and NY. I think we are lost, but seem to be home when in SXM. Can't wait till April. [Linked Image]

Salt Lake City, Utah - home of the greatest snow on earth! Which is why we escape every year in March to St Martin - without fail. MB

Add another one for Illinois, from Highland Park, one of those suburbs north of Chicago! December will find us on SXM! Seventh year [Linked Image]

We're from Newark (pron. "New Ark"), [color:blue]Delaware! [color:blue]Lou

Two Cheeseheads here! [Linked Image]

Well, all I can say, is that in VIRGINIA, as opposed to West Virginia, at least we all go to sleep AND THE BATHROOM in the house!!!!!!! [Linked Image]

Carol

White Lake, Michigan. I think I am the only Michigander on the Board! [Linked Image]

More New Englanders here. I grew up in New Hampshire, but now I live in coastal Maine ( married a native Mainer - an increasingly rare breed). We love taking a break from the Maine winters by getting away to SXM. (sorry SXM; we prefer Maine lobster to the Carribean variety, but we sure prefer your March weather to our March mud season !) [Linked Image]

PJP

Did they get their passport stamped??? We don't allow folks from West Virginia in unless they pass our STRICT visa requirements!!!!!! [Linked Image]

Carol

Southern Maryland for Linda & Me. Only a few days til we check in to our Club O mini-suite on Nov 4th. (and yes, we have voted by absentee ballot...). [Linked Image]

Bill

South Central Wisconsin here. Another cheddar head on the beach. Bill [Linked Image]

Don't Stop The Carnival

Am I the only foreigner here? I live in Brasilia, BRAZIL.

Nope, there's a second Michigander. Farmington Hills, MI, suburb of Detroit . [Linked Image]

Kaye and I are another pair of Cheeseheads, from Sheboygan (Eastconsin)Wisconsin. 40 days and counting and we will be at The Sapphire Beach Club. Hope Cupecoy Beach comes back to the front of it [Linked Image]

chalk up two from Florida, Ormond Beach (near Daytona)

I would like to take this opportunity to say hello to all my cheesehead neighbors [Linked Image]

Carol

A Kansas suburb of Kansas City, where it snows way to often for me. Dittos to Mark & Paige!! [Linked Image]

17 days and counting!!!

Upstate NY near Syracuse(Auburn), but SXM is our favorite place to be. Both born and raised here, David has lived in different places because he was military, but I have been a lifer here. For now.

I don't know if the person registered or not, but we have gotten some email from readers in South Africa also. [color:red] Eric Hill SXM FAQ Pages

north end boston ma

Port Jefferson, Long Island NY Rich & Mary Lovers of warm summer breezes, French wine and cheeses.

Grand Rapids Minnesota "Go Vikings" Just signed on and waiting for my password, 3rd trip coming up in March, at good old Club O

Near western suburb of Chicago. Too small to mention, as everyone already knows everyone's business (it's on the "side" of a "river"). I agree that SXM is far too difficult to get to from such a large city. I had an easier (and cheaper) time getting to Bermuda a few years back. We can get to London quicker.

Carol- I was surfing the net looking for tips about SXM. Will be going for the first time on 28 December (can't wait to get out of this office). I guess one of the sites I found in Yahoo had a link to the board. Have been enjoying reading the messages and collecting all the great advice about SXM given by real experts like yourself ! Thanks a lot !

New York City - home of the World Series Champions!!! [Linked Image]

Two more from upstate N.Y. Saratoga County

One more from MA..central part of state. 45 minutes away from the Big Dig that is taking everyone�s money away. I vote for filling it in so we all could go to SXM more often.

You could also say "Home to the World Series LOSERS!" [color:blue]Bob! [Linked Image]

Okay, Mr. Glass Half Empty [Linked Image]

Greencastle Indiana, about half way between Terre Haute and Indianapolis. I grew up in Terre Haute. Phil (my husband) is from northern Maine. (A place called Houlton where I have never been.) Neither of us had ever been to the tropics until he was awarded a cruise in a sales contest at work last February. We liked Saint Martin best - especially Orient beach. We have never been to a place where it was so comforatble to go without clothes. Phil was only worried that somebody else from the cruise would show up! Myrna

Central Missouri. Close to home of the Rams also close to the Chiefs after yesterday.

Well, Augie, this Canuck is here to let you know that Canada is in fact larger (in area) than the US of A, (yes, much smaller in population), and that some of us Maritimers do object to being lumped in with "the rest of Canada" since we live in the best part (Nova Scotia) of this great country of ours. But I do need to be careful here, since I am currently working in Boston, which is also a lovely place to be, and I certainly wouldn't want to offend any of the numerous Mass residents reading this BB, either, [Linked Image]

since we keep running into them at Club O. [Linked Image]

176 days to go! [Linked Image]

John & Faye Halifax, NS, Canada

Central Ma.

Augie: Southern Oregon here on the Rogue River. [Linked Image]

We have scorching summers and relatively cold winters. (Nothing like the Cheeseheads, I'm sure. [Linked Image]

) At least, however, we don't need webbed feet like upstate Portland. [Linked Image]

PamJ

The wet state of Washington

Suzanne and I both come from the province of Ontario, Canada I am going to assume that Augie is referring to our smaller population with the reference to Canada. On the geographic side , it sure is nice to have that extra space !!

Both from Long Island, New York. Raised and still living in the same town in Nassau County, about 45 minutes from the Big Apple [Linked Image]

Bob! i am a foolish Cubs fan [Linked Image]

...and it's getting close to 100 years since they won a World Series. [Linked Image]

I grew up in Boston - the world's greatest 2nd place city for just about everything. (Don't bother beating on me - I paid my dues of 30 years in Beantown - love those game 7's!, Billy Buchner, Bucky Dent's thing in '78 - I remember...) At least out here, it HAS happened in my lifetime... [color:blue]Bob! [Linked Image]

Central California

We be neighbors then?? (Benicia) [color:blue]Bob! [Linked Image]

We are 2 Californians who now reside in Baja Mexico. And we own at Royal Islander. We are also returning after "being there" for Lenny last year

Augie..... I hope you're keeping a scorecard and will give us the State tally when all is said and done. I've only seen two from Delaware, although I know there are quite a few from here in Seaford that frequent SXM. [color:448800]text [Linked Image]

Lorrie

Western New York State BURRRRRRRRRRRRRR [Linked Image]

Two more from Ontario, Canada. (and we ain't small!) Alecs and Nora

Lorrie--you are correct!!!! [Linked Image]

We sent Augie an email and told him that HE had to do the counting, since he started this whole mess!!!!!! [Linked Image]

Carol

From Wisconsin, but not cheeseheads! MikeandSandy

I'm LOL

at the posters from Syracuse, NY area that describe their location as Northern NY. I just have to tell you that they are 3 1/2 hours SOUTH of us. We live about 4 miles from the Canadian border in the REAL Northern NY. Kathy

Another one from south of Boston, Massachusetts [Linked Image]

San Antonio, Texas [Linked Image]

Tally up another one for the "PROVINCE" of Ontario !! [Linked Image]

Glad to see someone else from Texas... Bryan/College Station, Texas... wishin we were in SXM..

Born in Mexico. Living in Camarillo, CA (one hour west of Los Angeles). Going to Saint Martin next July.

This is one of those threads that could go on forever! I don't know if Augie can count any more. Last I heard a couple of Canadians had cut off his fingers, and the West Virginians and Virginians took care of his toes! [Linked Image]

Up to now (unless it has changed dramatically since I started this response): NY 14 MA 11 IL 11 WN 9 ON 7 (= Ontario, Canada) CT 4 CA 4 IN 3 VA 3 MO 3 FL 3 NJ 3 KS 3 DE 3 TX 3 ME 2 NS 2 (=Nova Scotia, Canada) WA 2 PA 2 SXM 2 MI 2 MD 2 MN 2 Baja Mexico 2 NH 1 CO 1 AR 1 NC 1 VT 1 OR 1 Brasillia Brazil 1 Those who I know to be a couple or so indicated I counted twice, others only once. Past residences didn't count - only where the responder indicated his/her permanant residence. Augie -- I understand they can re-attach those missing parts now! [Linked Image]

Another couple from South of Boston (looks around to see if its getting crowded). Just a few more days 'til our first trip to SXM. [Linked Image]

Thanks to all for the great advice we're sifting through. Ken & Cindy Ooops, had to come back and put at least one smiley here.

Has anyone heard of IOWA? Yes there is life west of the Missippi!! [Linked Image]

Two from Illinois here. Leaving for SXM on Saturday!
