quote from greg stephens:

"You'll get nothing but Lipton's tea which is frankly not I would call tea."

....well, neither would I!

when greg and Kate stayed at MY place, they were offered good tea! (including loose Twinings)...*grin*...but chose to use their own bags instead. 'Some' folks here can make tea, even if it is not as popular as coffee.

In any case, you have more choices than you can possibly deal with. The East coast is Mudcat 'home' territory, but there is amazing scenery and many wonderful people waaaaayyyyy out west, too!

This country is too big...it is really 5 or 7 or 15 or 25 or 48 (depending on how you count) smaller areas under one BIG umbrella. Guess you'll have to make more than one trip...*grin*
