Are there people here that have never seen the ocean?

[StinkyPinky]

To me, who spent most of my life near the sea it seems weird to think some adult people have never even seen it. However I suppose people living inland a thousand miles from the ocean it's pretty common. Who here has never seen the ocean with their own eyes? Or who here has seen it, but never gone in it?

I, myself, only touched snow for the first time a couple of years ago (and I'm pushing 30)

I had some friends come out from WI (I'm in NJ) and that was one of the first things they wanted to do because they had never seen an ocean.

I've seen the Ocean and have touched snow. That is how bad ass I am.

BTW: I wasn't the same day though.

Can....can I just stand near you a bit? I want your badass to rub off on me.

I hadn't seen an ocean before I was 30 years old. I live in Wisconsin and my parents never traveled outside the state. Within the last 2 years I have had the opportunity to visit 3 other countries and I have now seen the Atlantic Ocean, the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean sea. I haven't swan in them but I have waded in them on the shore.

I've touched more snow than I care to remember and I get the unfortunate task of touching(shoveling) more tonight. I hate this weather.

I have touched snow and the ocean in the same day. Does that make me more bad ass than you?

Until 2 years ago, I hadn't seen the ocean. Was in Cali in April '06 for work and then in Florida in Aug '07 for vacation. Stood in Pacific. Swam in Atlantic.

Stop lying. Seriously. No one has done or could do that.

Wow... I just realized that I can't remember ever seeing the ocean. I went to Hawaii when I was 4 or less, but can't remember a thing. In the 17 years after that, I haven't visited any place near an ocean. I live about 20 minutes from a pretty big lake though.

i grew up on the west coast and then joined the US Navy, so I spent almost 2 years at sea, of which 98% were submerged in the north pacific ocean

I've been on an ocean with snow all around.

yep, I've flown from Florida after departing a cruise, and returned to snow. Saw the ocean and then touched snow. I was very much disappointed. lol

Chuck Norris could, and probably has.

Some people have never seen snow in their lives. I want to see it before I hit 30.

When it snows here in Hawai?i, people sometimes drive up the mountain and come back with a pickup truck full of snow. You see snowmen popping up in the oddest places: outside the veterinarian's office, or on a street corner downtown. Of course, Hilo itself is an odd place to see a snowman.

I've seen the Golf of Mexico because of a trip to Huston, and I've been on and in Superior twice, but I've never seen the ocean.

I've also never been on a flying vehicle of any sort...

If the Packers won, you would be loving the weather right now.

Don't overestimate it, I just shoveled my driveway and am heading out to do it again in about 10 minutes.

I am building this for my son to play on.

I've never seen the ocean, much less touched it. I suppose I'm just not inclined to do so.

I believe you can do that in New York and California.

Lived within an hour of the beach most of my life.

 

[pyonir]

The first time i saw the ocean was from a plane flying into England. The first time i touched it was on a small beach in Ireland. I was 21 and grew up in Minnesota. We took a lot of family trips together when i was younger but never went outside of the midwest (other than Seattle once, but didn't get to see the ocean that time).

Since, i've seen the ocean and swam in it numerous times.
