How Many States Have You Visited?

[Tony in Tarzana]

Don't be too impressed. I can thank the good old US Navy for the largest share of my International travel

Service in the United States Navy impresses me. Thanks.

 

[Benny Holiday]

NSW (of course), Victoria, South Australia, Queensland and the ACT (although that's not technically a state, it's a territory). Yet to visit Western Australia, Tasmania, and the Northern Territory (you guessed it, the last one isn't a state either!).

As for the USA, only New York and Hawaii.

Hear, hear.

 

[Trickeration]

Don't be too impressed. I can thank the good old US Navy for the largest share of my International travel and most of it wasn't luxury travel by any standard of measurement. Europe and S. Africa were all civilian tourist trips though as were Brazil and Costa Rica. All the rest were courtesy of Uncle Sam's Canoe Club.

My husband was on subs (fast attacks, and he'd agree, less than luxurious). He didn't pull into too many ports, but he was underwater in cool places. Even went to the North Pole 4 times. He's been to the same places I have, plus Spain, Scotland, Nova Scotia, Greece, Norway, and Puerto Rico

Well, if we're going to talk countries:

Lithuania
Latvia
Hungry
Denmark
Netherlands
Germany
UK
Canada
Egypt
Czech
Slovakia
Austria
Poland

Not bad for being only 15, eh?

 

[plain old dave]

21 States, and 7 foreign countries.

 

[olive bleu]

well, I'm Canadian, but I'll play.

only:
.New York
.Connecticut
.Florida

and 8 Canadian provinces.

 

[Mike in Seattle]

21 states - CA, OR, WA, NV, UT, CO, AZ, NM, TX, OK, NB, WY, NY, NJ, PA, IL, OH, IN, MO, KS, IO plus two countries - Victoria, British Columbia and Tijuana, Mexico.

 

[Thin Man]

I've been to 21 states roughtly evenly split between the two coasts as an adult, but I've been to many more as as child; I'd estimate another 15 at least. My father was a college professor and he took full advantage of the regular sabbaticals he was offered. As a family we drove the length of the country 4 times (coming and going) from CA to MA and CA to RI taking different routes each time, and I remember CA to KA and CA to OR as well. We did a lot of sight seeing on those trips and to this day I (and my wife) love a good road trip.

 

[Mr. Sable]

I've only been to ten states, Washington, Montana, Wyoming, North and South Dakota, California, New York, New Jersey, Arizona, and Georgia.

Then again, I'm Canadian.

Provinces/Territories: British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Ontario, Quebec, and New Brunswick. Seven out of thirteen (or have they added another? They keep doing that).

 

[olive bleu]

well, you sure have me beat

 

[Joie DeVive]

Not many.

Let's see.... I've been to: California, Nevada, Utah, Wyoming, Colorado, Nebraska, Kansas, Illinois, Missouri, Iowa, Indianna, Ohio, Pennsylvania, West Virginia, and Kentucky. So that makes only 15, and I've never been out of the US either.

 

[Diamondback]

But, Ms. O.B., since he didn't post a province score, which I'd argue we should count as equal to states, you're still up by one.

 

[olive bleu]

Excellent!

 

[Diamondback]

Oops, looks like I spoke too fast... Wish there was some way to insert a table into posting, I'd set up a scoreboard.

 

[Mr. Sable]

I don't think it's a competition, Mr. Diamondback, just something interesting.

I've never been to a third country as yet. It's a big enough deal to me that I've been able to go to Los Angeles every year for the past few years.

 

[Ecuador Jim]

Me too mate!

Don't be too impressed. I can thank the good old US Navy for the largest share of my International travel and most of it wasn't luxury travel by any standard of measurement. Europe and S. Africa were all civilian tourist trips though as were Brazil and Costa Rica. All the rest were courtesy of Uncle Sam's Canoe Club.

I've been blessed, both by a couple of hitches with the Navy (a proud member of the Tonkin Gulf Yacht Club), and by being a trainer who teaches seminars all over the country.

Been to all 50, plus:
Canada, Mexico, Belize, Costa Rica, Honduras, Puerto Rico, Guam, Micronesia, Thailand, Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, Hong Kong, Taiwan, the Phillippines, Micronesia, Wake Island, Kwajelein, Midway, Japan, Korea, New Zealand, McMurdo, Iran, Singapore, New Guinea, Djibouti, Australia, and Norway.

You're right...most of those trips people pay a ton of money for. Our traveling conditions were either a porthole, or a seat on some sort of noisy aircraft!

If you made it to McMurdo, any chance you were in VXE-6?
Fair winds and following seas to all fellow travelers!

 

[zaika]

wow. some of you are really well travelled!
let's see here...i've really only ever visited both seaboards, but sad to say...nothing in the middle.

Oregon, Washington, California, Georgia, Florida, Tennessee, South Carolina, North Carolina, Virginia, Pennsylvania, New York, Massachusets, Connecticut, New Hampshire, Vermont, and Maine.

I love the rural South, I have to say. And Maine. I loved Maine. But my heart will always be in Oregon.

 

[MrNewportCustom]

I live in California, but I've been to Washington, Oregon, Nevada, Arizona, New Mexico (by mistake), Utah, Idaho, Montana, and Virginia. I've also been to Mexico: Tiajuana twice, and I took a train trip from Mexicali to Puerto Penasco and back.
