Thats a great question and I've never counted.. so i'll try to remember - somewhat in order beginning about 20 yrs ago..

US(home),Mexico, Sweden, Finland, Denmark, Germany, Holland, Belgium, UK (England, Scotland, Wales), France, Monaco, Italy, Greece, Austria, Switzerland, Yugoslavia (then - now i guess Croatia),Spain, Portugal, Greece, Turkey, Israel, Egypt, Japan, China (HKG, Mainland), Australia, New Zealand, Canada, Singapore, Thailand, Venezuela, Panama, Brazil, Argentina, Peru, Hungary...

That was interesting...the answer is something like 35 countries....based on my definition of country? Some of this was biz travel - which means I have alot more to see and experience of the world! However, my real interest now is not seeing necessarily "new" countries - but more exploration of many of the ones above - beginning in 25 days when my family leaves for Italy, Switzerland and France to introduce my 3 young children to their first experience outside the US!!!

This thread seems to have found a second life with a big hiatus between Feb & April.
I live to travel ( all for pleasure). Some of you may be familiar with the Traveler's Century Club.
http://www.travelerscenturyclub.org/
Granted, their criteria is pretty liberal, but according to their list I have visited 119 countries and I hope to visit a few more in the future ( 5 or 6 new ones later this year). There is nothing like exploring the world we live in! It is getting smaller & smaller and easier to explore.
