We just recently bought a time share and one of the things we get to do is trade it for time shares in other places.
For many places, the region is pretty straight-forward. Maine is in the North-East, Colorado is the Mid-West, some of them are always considered a certain region. But, I have noticed a lot that Maryland is sometimes in the North-East, sometimes in the South-East, and sometimes is Central-East (not fairly common). If the category doesn't list what states are in it, I sometimes have to pick the region a couple times just to find out where Maryland is. Technicall, Maryland is a southern state because we're SOUTH of the Mason-Dixon line. But, our weather is much like northern states so sometimes we're lumped in with them.
Does your state always show up in the same region or is it like Maryland and sometimes it's in a different region than you expected?

I am from California and we are always on the Pacific coast. I am in the Central San Joaquin Valley but sometimes we are grouped into Northern CA but we are actually smack dab right in the middle of the state.

While I was looking in my travel book, California had a lot of different regions so it looks like there may be some overlaps in different publications.

I live in a region called the South West of England. My home is in a count called North Somerset. I live on the edge of a coastal town and at the back of my house is a river with fields beyond. It is a very quiet locality and there are lots of great dog walks around here for my two dogs. My home country has four distinct seasons and it is winter at the moment. It is very cold and the air feels as cold as ice. I have central heating in my home but I still feel really at the moment.

Sounds like you have very distinct areas and things don't overlap too often. Nice and simple :)

I live in Liguria, which is a region in the northen part of italy.. it's very nice, because it's not too big and there is the sea... I really love it, but i winter and when the weather is cold, here there is more wind, caused by the sea... fortunately, it's not snowing
I went to Maine, when I was very young.. it's very beautiful! I really love Americas..

I was looking at Italy today too in my travel book. We are going to go there some day (unfortunately not any time soon) to visit where my husbands family is from. He has to check with his aunts and uncles to see where his grandparents lived because he doesn't remember...
