We weathered that question with a laugh and a question mark! Gee, how do we answer that? Do we say where we were from (our birth hometown), where we currently happen to be, or where we have chosen to call home. When we 1st bought the motorhome and starting meeting folks "out there" we'd stubbled around saying...well he spent x amount of time in CA, but was born in OH and I was born in NE but lived several place, and we currently had a house in NC. We never really claimed NC as home so finally we confused people a lot by each of us stating our homestate! Did we ever get some curious looks! huh -- OH & NE?! Now since we are settled in NE we have a simpler answer then we can go into the long stories about where we lived, when and for what reason. Full-time RVers who claim domicile, say in South Dakota who have never lived there must go through this....well, yes we have SD lic. plates however we spent most to our lives in....but were born in....so, it gets very interesting.
Therefore I am from NE, via CO, TX, NC and back to NE. He, is from OH, via, Maryland, CA, NC and all the places the Navy sent him. Thank goodness we can now just say we have settled in NE but travel to his home on a regular basis and anywhere else we happen to go.
