Welcome to the first OTN of the unofficial beginning of Summer 2023. Your hosts are @cyclones500, @CycloneRulzzz and me.
With summer often comes travel, holiday, vacation... So
This week we are looking for posts with songs that mention SPECIFIC TO YOU geographic locations. In other words, places that you've personally visited. This can be continents, countries, states, regions, islands, cities, oceans, lakes, rivers, national parks/monuments, natural or engineering wonders, tourist traps, prisons, or really anything that permanently occupies real estate at some significant distance from home.
To make it more personal (and more interesting, at least to me) you may elaborate on when/why you were there and any memories you have related to that visit.
Remember, the posted song must mention a specific place you've actually been to.
Mention may be in the title, lyrics or both.
Last week's OTN was on the topic: Believe. It can be found here: https://cyclonefanatic.com/forum/threads/on-that-note-believe.278788/

My First 5
My trip of a lifetime to Australia and New Zealand for 4+ weeks in Jan/Feb 1997
"I know she got on in Baltimore" Someone very important in my life was in Baltimore when we met.
A Summer trip to Cali in about 1985 included a day trip to Catalina Island. First time I'd ever been on a somewhat tropical isle. I thought it was pretty cool.
"You're either a girl or you come from Liverpool" Went on a Beatles Pilgrimage with two ISU college buddies and yes, got to spend a couple days in Liverpool.
Finally got to NYC in 2006 when I finagled a work trip there. Even got to see a taping of the Letterman show.
