Hello, I'm HobbitFromPA
Howdy All,
Just wanted to make a quick post. It is my goal to start traveling the world hopefully within the next year. Been reading the board the last couple of weeks, and there is a wealth of info on here from all of you. I'll be posting more in the near future, but I need to pack my laptop up and get ready to fly back to Phoenix. I am home (Philly) visiting family and friends.
Be posting soon.

I'm from Philly as well, well out in the western suburbs. Maybe we could set a record and have a meetup before you hit your 10th post.

Limerick? You must have been like than 10 miles from my house! (i know because i live inside the 10 mile radius from the nuclear power plant so when i moved in i got a bottle of potassium iodine tablets - you know, to take in case of a nuclear meltdown).

I am from Bucks County (Levittown) originally, but now live in Snottsdale, AZ. I will be travelling home again the last weekend of January for a family event, but maybe we could meet up for a drink.
