Hello Rav4world,

My name is Paul, nice to meet all of you. I have been a member for almost two weeks. I was a little tardy in introducing myself earlier. I was so excited about all this good stuff I was reading. I plum forgot about the formalities. I retired from the USAF a few years ago, moved from beauitful Syracuse, N.Y. Just too much snow and too cold. Now I'm a self employed money whiz. My first Toyota was a 1970 Toyota Corona. That was one of my best cars. Haven't had a Toyota since. Just hated paying full sticker for one of their hot cars. But I bit the bullet, I ordered a new V6 limited. Can't wait to try that V6. Hopefully it'll be here in a few more weeks. See you on the forum.

Hi Paul,

Thanks for the intro! My husband grew up in Buffalo and with the help of the Navy, made his way out to California (by way of VA and FL) to get away from the snow and cold.

You'll have to do a write-up as soon as you get that V6.

BTW, have you ever gone to Hawaii (Honolulu, specifically) and stayed at the Hale Koa Hotel? If you haven't, I highly recommend doing a trip and taking advantage of it. Can't beat the price on rooms. Granted it's right on Waikiki beach and midst of very touristy things but we still enjoy it very much.

Sure have puttputt. By far one of the nicest AFRC resorts in the world. Wish I could afford to live there. We just booked 28 days at the new Edelwiss Resort in Garmisch, Germany in Ooctober. They are booked so far out it's unbelievable. Had to make reservations over 12 months ago. They have their own site check it out.

welcome and congrats Paul!!!! Make sure to post pics of your new rav when you get it..

28 days! That's great. I'll have to keep that in mind when we finally get to do our EU trip. My husband has been to the one in Seoul, I believe and he said that one was nicer than Hale Koa.

We're actually flying out to HI next Thursday for a week and can't wait!

I'm not jealous or anything.....Just look at the avatar to the left! Are you kidding? Sun, Surf, Sand. It gets nice and hot here in the summer and we have sandy beaches warmer than Maine but would be great to live in the warmth all year round. When we retire we are going to call Texas home.

Welcome!
Later. M. 8)

Gets pretty humid in certain parts of TX. How about San Diego if you can afford the cost of living? Outstanding weather and only a few hrs from snow if you miss it.

California has close to the same population as the entire Country of Canada. No thanks on the San Diego thing. I don't like crowds. "Wide Open Spaces" as they say is what does it for me.
