Gretchen, I know what you mean. I live in the beach cities (South Bay) area of Los Angeles County. There is something about the Pacific that is so compelling to me. I just couldn't think of living anywhere other than near the Pacific.
I was born and raised in the NYC metro area, and have to say the Atlantic does not have the same power over me as does the Pacific.

I so agree. I live less than 3 miles from the harbor
downtown San Diego. In front of my apt bldg looking
south I can see part of the bay near the shipyard.
Tomorrow President Bush will be in San Diego. He will
land at Marine air base Marimar and then chopper up to
Camp Pendleton.
We have over 19,000 marines in Iraq. Today several
ships with 6,000 marines and choppers left the harbor.
