Where the HECK have you been?

How many countries have you visited (actually left the airport, flight connections don’t count)?

How many states have you visited (actually left the airport)?

If you’ve been to Canada, how many provinces have you visited (actually left the airport)?

For about 14 years, my wife and I were able to travel. We made 5 trips to the UK spending a total of just over 7 weeks. Our last trip had us in the south of France for two weeks and there were a few days in Iceland. We have done the drive to Southern Ontario and a few drives through the Rockies from Calgary to Vancouver Island. In all, three countries and seven provinces.

I'm a lightweight.

Japan, Spain, Portugal, Morocco, Mexico, Brazil, Scotland < edit > I almost forgot Gibraltar. I guess you could call that "England"? < /edit >

and 30 states if you include Wash DC. (I think I may have missed a couple, but not sure)

And that's excluding places that I've landed, but not left the airport which would probably add a few countries and several states.

5 of the continents (only missing Antarctica).

Only the Atlantic and Pacific, but both "sides" of each (Cali & Japan for the Pacific, several states, Scotland & Spain for the Atlantic).

Every state except for Hawaii.

Canada, just Quebec and Ontario on a regular basis
England a few times
France a few times
Germany
Greece
New Zealand
India a few times
China

Not as much travel as I would like. If I could get a special lobotomy to tone down the car addiction, I could double+ the country list. And would really like to.

Perfect.

After my first tour in San Diego, I had over a month of basket leave and didn't need, per my PCS orders, to hurry to NAS Patuxent River so I did a tight sinusoidal wave across the country in my '68 912.




It was April so I wasn't exactly bucking rivets at the steel plant...easy day. I think I stayed in 20 States that trip.

The Oceans angle is interesting...
