Born and raised in the US, only other country I've been to is Canada. My dream is to visit all 50 states and then each continent if possible. Countries on my top list of wanting to visit are England, Ireland, France, Germany, Japan and Brazil.

Countries I haven't visited but would like to of course includes the USA, partly to see you, but also Australia, Holland, Japan, Iceland, Canada, France, New Zealand, and Peru (the Incas and all that).

I think touring all 50 states of the US is high on a lot of people's lists, mine included. At this point I just want to visit any state mind. :laugh: I guess in one trip you could easily take in 3 or 4 different states though?

I was born in Texas. My family moved to Oklahoma. I left there to come to work in Upstate New York where I have lived for the past 50+ years.

I have been in all the states East of the Mississippi river. There are six states West of the Mississippi that I have not visited. I have driven thru two provinces of Canada, Ontario and Quebec. I claim to have driven clear around the St Lawrence as I went over it on a bridge into Canada, under it in a tunnel at Montreal, and over it again getting to Quebec City.

I have been in England, Germany, and France for business trips, and been in England, Scotland, Ireland, Greece, Turkey, and Israel on tour trips.

I have a nephew who says that you can NOT claim a state until you have peed in it. We have had to stop at the first rest stop going into a new state so that my boys can pee in it. Peeing on an airplane flying over a state does NOT count.

I had a friend who took off for a year with his wife on tour thru the lower 48 states in a camper. They toured each state on bicycles for a week before moving on to the next state. Naturally they were North during the summer and South during the winter.

I had forgotten that my wife and I made a trip onto Vancouver Island to attend the Annual General Meeting (AGM) of the North American Guild of Change Ringers in Victoria.

I'm not even goin to try a list.  According to the Visited app, I've spent at least one full day in 70 different countries.  The "full day" metric is my own.  I've bounced off a bunch more as stops on the way to somewhere else.
