Well I would defiantly stay where I am for a full time place. That being said I would get places around the world as vacation homes, one in Dubrovnik, another on a Greek Island (potentially Paros), one in Hong Kong (somewhere around Discovery Bay, lots of ex-pats there) and a final one being a winter cabin, for backcounrty skiing/snowboarding and Snowmobiling! Oh to be rich!

I would also live in multiple places and have a private jet to transport me, Mr. Harlot and our cats in comfort.
I'd have homes in Vancouver (for the summer), Toronto, Hawaii, Portugal, and maybe Australia. Maybe something in London too.
I'm sure as I travel more, there will be more places that I'd like to have a home in. I wouldn't buy palatial homes though...something just big enough.

Half of the year (lets say the spring/summer) I'd love to live somewhere outside Athens, Greece along the coast. Maybe in Vouliagmeni, Glyfada or towards Cape Cape Sounion. Plus... the food is Greece is the best! Italian food pales in comparison to good Greek cooking.
For the other half of the year (fall/winter) I'd like to live Edinburgh, Scotland.
That is a nice area but has no parking which would be a headache for your guest. Lots aren't as big and you don't have the big lawns, nor do you have a lot of trees. It's too concrete for me.
Pacific Heights has too much of a 'hey look at me, I am rich' element.
Saint Francis Woods is more secluded, older residents, not hip and no tour buses passing through. Saint Francis Woods has old classic homes with large lots, long driveways, plenty of street parking, walking distance to the metro stations, stores, lots of trees and very quite.

So true.
If money were no object I would have many homes around the globe. First a nice country home here in old England. Then a nice home in the mediterranean on a hillside overlooking the sea. A home/apartment in the far east in Hong Kong/Singapore/Bangkok would also be awesome.

Snellville, Georgia...basically where I live now. I like it here. It's a nice area. It's a good combo of small-town but still so close to Atlanta, and not too terribly far from Athens either.

I'd move to somewhere on the North coast of Cornwall; remote, away from any neighbours, and install the mother of all sound systems! Plus I'd also like to buy a farmhouse in Spain, my family there currently live in a town, so it would be nice again to be out in the countryside somewhere quiet.
Aside of that though, if money were no object then I would just travel around the world, visiting wherever I fancy. I wouldn't do it as a splurge though, I'd probably still stay in home-stays and B&B's or hostels, because in my mind it's still a much nicer, more personal way of seeing the country or place you are in, much less clinical than a large hotel. I'd also do it overland, as believe it or not I'm actually getting quite bored of flying these days and I'm running out of interesting planes to fly.

The private jet (a Dassault Falcon 7X) would move me between Sydney/Australia (house in Rose Bay), Nassau/Bahamas (house on Eastern Road), Berlin/Germany (nice big flat in Kreuzberg) and a villa in Tuscany/Italy (somewhere between Montalcino and Montepulciano)... I think in other cities such as New York and London, I'd "slum" it in hotels - Claridge's anyone?
I'm an aviation expert. I have Sky Juice for breakfast.

I like a few others would have a private jet (Gulfstream 650) and I'd like to have homes in Point Piper in Sydney, somewhere around where I am right now, New Buffalo in southwest Michigan on Lake Michigan, somewhere in Fiji, a place in London area and another place in New York.
Its encouraging to see how many people would love to live in Sydney!

I'm with those who want to have houses in multiple locations. I would have houses or apartments in Melbourne, the South Island of New Zealand, Japan (somewhere - need another holiday back to investigate further ) and Paris.
