I just stumbled upon the forum here and thought it was right up my alley.

My name is Tony and I own the website, Romantic Oregon Coast Vacations. I'm a native Oregonian, love it beyond words, and have lived between Wilsonville and Beaverton for many years. Right now, I'm in Monroe, WA. Don't ask. It's a long, sad story. hehe. Nonetheless, I am working toward a permanant home at the Oregon Coast within the next few years.

Anyway, "hi!"

Well, a big smile for you ! Native Oregonians do find their way home eventually. As soon as we can sell our Southern California home, we'll be on our way back to the land of the green. The Oregon coast is largely undiscovered. Personally, I have always liked small towns and intend to vacation on the coast. You have to like the beach, the ocean, and Saturday night bingo to live on the coast. I was just there two weeks ago and just loved it. During early morning rush hour I counted five cars on the road!!

Hi Tony. I am living by the Oregon coast. It's been a wonderful sunny day here. I sure hope you can make your way back to Oregon. I know I would would miss Oregon if I had to live elsewhere. I enjoy the forests, water,and living in a safe area.

Thanks for the welcome, Dan and Waterlilly,

I'll definately be back within the next couple years and eventually want my own home on the coast. I've been infatuated with the Oregon Coast since I was a little tike, hence my website in my profile.

Glad to hear that the sun is out there. I'm hoping it will stay that way through November. I have vacation the second week and am going to be headed to Lincoln City, Depoe Bay and Newport. Sure hope it holds out.

Hey Tony, Im here on the Southern Oregon Coast, have lived in Oregon most my life (ya, all but like the first 6months lol) and IMO, very few places on Earth rival parts of the Oregon Coast. I adore being able to drive for less than 5 minutes, to go buy me some live crab at 3.00lb, where they know me by name and throw in some extra. When its summer and the breeze off the ocean makes me think of my childhood, or when its winter and windy and you have the whole beach to yourself. Life is good here. I hope you make it back home soon!
Tiffany

tiffela74, you've made me extremely jealous. hehe. The week of vacation is going to be something that I can hold on to. I'm bringing my trusty Sony HandyCam! =]

No worries. It used to be hope that I would ever live there for good, but with the web site, it's an event just waiting to happen. Now I just need the patience!

Nice to meet you too, Seashelly. When I return, I'll give a full report of my exploits.

I'm mainly going to video tape a load of segments for the web site. I've bartered with a nice lady who is the Inn Keeper of a Lincoln City Bed & Breakfast. For a year of advertising on the site, she's giving me and my son (my videographer) a free two-night stay in a suite there. Should be fun. I'll be filming through the B&B for her to put with her ad. That way, my visitors can actually virtually walk through the rooms and the rest of the home to see what they can get there.

Hi Tony,
Since I too am an Oregonian who finds herself in Washington (not too far from Monroe) I was drawn to your website--very impressive.

But I am confused why The Goldmoor Inn is listed as an Oregon Coast Bed and Breakfast but gives directions and a map of Illinois!?
