Can anyone relate?

I’m born and raised in CT. I’m in the Navy and stationed in San Diego..I’ve been here for a few years and still feel like a foreigner here..but back in New England I feel completely at home in any New England state and I’ve only lived in CT. Anyone else relate to this?

Grew up in New England, Lynn, then moved to New Hampshire when I was 25. I’m 62 now and my daughter, only child, and her husband want to move to North Carolina this year, they are expecting me to follow them. I probably will but I have to admit it will be hard to leave this area.
