Hahahaha...that was the first post when I realized you were in Wilmington too. I love it here. We visited Wilmington (originally from the Washington DC area) since about 1999 when friends moved down here (good friend was a stand-in on Dawson's Creek) After a few years of visiting we bought our first house that we've been renovating about 5 years ago, then bought the house we're living in the year after that because we thought we could keep an eye on our contractor. Then when he totally started to screw us over we moved down the next year to keep an eye on him...which after that he went MIA. So I've only been officially a Wilmingtonian for about 3 years.

I had a bunch of friends go to Australia for the Y2K New Years...I so wanted to go but we didn't plan ahead. One day we'll make it over there.
