Like you, I long to visit the outback. If I ever get stationed on the West Coast I'll definitely get to go!I'd love to see the architecture generally and everything by Gaudi in particular when I go to Spain. I didn't mention Germany but one of my very favorite garden designers is German but his name escapes me at the moment. I'm not sure how many gardens he has designed in Germany though.
My father was mostly stationed in San Diego, Maryland/D.C., San Francisco and early on in Guam/Hawaii. But he traveled -by ship- all over the world. But the wife and brats were always in one of these four places. We moved frequently though. I went to three elementary schools, two middle schools and two high schools.
My wife got to go there for a show she was in at their National museum in Canberra. They put her up at someone's house who had an enormous and elaborate garden, the lucky bastard. Seriously missed a great chance to be the trailing spouse (best gig in the world).
My guess was that your Dad was a west coast sailor. I've always wanted to go to the places they do on their deployments. I suppose the grass is ALWAYS greener though, eh?
