    Farthest would be Australia and New Zealand. Longest time wise was a month in Europe. Farthest on my own would be Chicago.

    And as I make this post I did indeed land in Boston. Currently in Plymouth staring at the Atlantic Ocean at night.

    Today for a wedding and then a bit on Sunday. Never been here before, it is a nice area! Hearing all the Boston accents is cracking me up, too.

    Oh nice! Boston is a nice area. Too flat for me though And I hate their damn accents since everyone thinks that all of New England talks like that.

    To be fair they're not as thick as shown on TV or whatever, but I can hear it for sure.

    yeah it seems to be depending on where in the greater Boston area you are. Like where my Girlfriend lived in Lynn it was mostly minorities who don't have that accent at all. But if you go down to the working class white areas it's bad. Same with southern New Hampshire. They all sound like they're from Boston.

    It's like that around Chicago, too. I've been told that I have a slight Chicago accent, but I don't hear it only because I have heard REAL Chicago accents thanks to how close I am to the city, as well as knowing people who have a thick one who grew up in very close Chicago suburbs (I'm close but still takes a bit of time and effort to get into the city).
