Where have you been ?

PeterAM · 09-12-2007, 07:12 AM

USA: All states except AR, HI, ID, MO, NE, ND, WI, WY. Live in NY; have lived in DC

Canada: BC, NS, ON, QC, MB. Have family in Nova Scotia

Greenland, Iceland, Mexico, Panama, various Caribbean islands

England, Ireland, Wales, France, Spain, Germany, Italy, Greece, Turkey

Libya, Morocco, Ethopia

Australia, Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, China and HK, Taiwan, Japan, South Korea

Might be some more places that don't come to mind. Travel has been a mixture of business, pleasure and military service. Have spent more time on airplanes than I cared to and can't stand the sight of an airport at this point in time.

In USA... Connecticut, Maine, Vermont, Massachusets, Rhode Island, New Hampshire, New York, Florida, Tennessee, California (just in airports.... Illinois, Texas, Georgia, Ohio, New Jersey)

Out of USA...

OK... this is sadly pathetic but I have never been to Canada even though it's only a couple hours away. I have only been to Italy (there were stops on the way I think, but I don't remember where).

In the USA:
All states that touch the Atlantic Ocean, Vermont, Louisiana, Illinois, Nevada (Las Vegas ... perhaps a State all its own! <grin>), California, Seattle, Hawaii.

In Canada:
Vancouver, Toronto (I think; I forget)

Mexico:
Cancun (that's it I think)

Carribean:
Over the course of a number of cruises, many (the majority?) of the small islands, and Puerto Rico.

Europe:
England, Spain, France, Belgium, the Netherlands, Germany, Austria, Hungary [the Mudda-Fadda-land!], Italy, Greece, Malta, Sardegna (I think, perhaps the cruise didn't stop there), and Monaco (ya!).

Africa:
Tanzania

For someone who hates to travel (I like it when I'm there... hate the process of getting to and from there!) this list surprises the heck out'a me!!!

Gotta show it to my wifie who always complains about me not going anywhere! Though she has been to 2x or 3x more then I, probably around the world 2 or 3 times; and her parents even more.

Hungary [the Mudda-Fadda-land!]

What is your problem with my country? :|

Maybe he meant that his mother and father are from Hungary?

Anyway, why are you reviving ancient threads?

Although I'm not as well traveled as some of you, here's my modest list:

U.S.
Florida (I was born and live there), Alabama & Mississppi (I went to college there), Tennessee (my parents live there), Louisiana, South Carolina, Georgia, North Carolina, Virginia, Wyoming, Pennsylvania, California
have passed through Maryland, Montana, and Colorado
Will be adding Maryland to the places where I've actually spent some time towards the end of this year, as my sister will be moving there in June.

Outside of U.S. (thanks to a cruise)
Grand Cayman
Roatan, Honduras
Cozumel/Playa del Carmen, Mexico
Belize City, Belize

As time goes on, my goal is to add extensively to this list, as I have a serious case of wanderlust.

You forget Toronto? It's my favourite city, but then again I'm mad for food.

But I've visited every Canadian province except Newfoundland. Plus Ireland, UK (London, Bristol, Liverpool, Edinburgh, Cardiff, etc.), Helsinki, Oslo, Bergen, Stockholm, Berlin, Tallin and some small towns in France. Oh and a few places in the USA: Seattle, Detroit, Buffalo, NYC, Virginia Beach, Utah, Minnesota, Maine, Chicago and Ft. Lauderdale. I have a vague memory of being in the Bahamas once.

Judging by how much some people have traveled it would do to read about becoming Carbon Neutral.

Places I most want to visit? Japan, India, Toronto (again). And wherever my friends are.

**monochrome** · 05-14-2008, 10:42 AM

OK, I'll Play -

As a youth my family took a meandering car trip West every summer.
In college I was a Varsity Cheerleader at Univ. of Virginia, so I traveled with the footbal and basketball teams.
I have traveled extensively over a 30 year business career.

US Missed: Alaska, Hawaii, Oregon, Montana, Wyoming, Louisiana, Alabama, Rhode Island.

Overseas have stayed in: England, Scotland, Wales, France. Canada (Ontario, in a canoe, for three weeks) & Mexico aren't really overseas.

Wouldn't it be fun if we all could dig into our slide boxes and post an image from each location we have stayed in?

BPT · 05-14-2008, 11:11 AM

The Canadian Provinces I have lived in:
British Columbia, 24 years
Nova Scotia, 2 years
New Brunswick, 4 years

But I have also visited:
Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Ontario, Qubec and Prince Edward Island so only Newfoundland and the Territories remain (aparently I have been to the Yukon but I dont count that since I was there when I was a toddler.

US states:
Washington, Oregon, Idaho, and Montana

I would like to visit Australia and New Zealand very badly
