All 50 + DC. My last one was Alaska, which I visited in 2000! My current goal is to visit all 7 continents (5 so far).

Like some of the others above, I am a 46 and it will take a very strange vacation to hit the last four:

Alaska
Vermont
Kansas
West Virginia.

24. I've been to Hawaii and Alaska but none of the midwestern states excluding MN and IL. Being from CT we seem to vacation along the coast of the US. Maybe that will change.

Rob

I have visited every state except Hawaii. Visited Alaska before it was a state and twice after it became a state.

Just last year I got to my 50th state with the build-up of a drive to Alaska, which included taking a photo of the "entering Alaska" sign at the side of the road at about 11:00pm.

The last ones I got to were

Alaska
North Dakota
Iowa

There is a website at www.world66.com where you can print out a color map of the U.S. with "your states" highlighted.

Good luck to everyone who is chasing this psychological triumph.

Only Vermont and Idaho to go.

Been to all 50. Most when I was a road warrior before retirement. Finished with Hawaii last Feb. and retired to Northwest Montana.

Orcas

Been to 49. North Dakota is missing. Guess I'll have to make a special trip.

Have done something of a vacation nature with my family in all fifty states. Took us ten years and some long trips. My girls complained a lot when we were doing it, but now, every time we get together, one of them will recall an experience we had while traveling.

50, finishing up in '02 with a trip out west for our 50th anniversary. And Puerto Rico. Beautiful country. Still more things to go and see, though.

This thread is strange because I was just wondering this exact same thing about a week ago. So, you made me have to look at the map and write down where I haven't been. I have 31, with 19 to go. Will need to visit: Maine, NH, NC, Alabama, TN, KY, IN, Michigan, Wisconsin, Missouri, Ark, Mississippi, Louisiana, Oklahama, Kansas, Nebraska, North Dakota, New Mexico, Minnesota.

Now my husband keeps one of those maps in our office which he posts a pin in where he's visited. Of course, some of his travels have exluded me and vise versa.

As for me, I collect Christmas tree ornaments wherever I can, especially like to visit Christmas shops in the towns--not from particular states, but most of the cities we visit--so I have multiple ornaments...now, if we would just stay home at Christmastime so I could use them

I want a magnetic map like a few posters mentioned. Where can I find one? Thanks for the NPS passport idea and the world66 website!

jbrown

I have seen one for every year I've been alive, 19 (including D.C). Some of them I have only barely been to. I have seen almost all the west but very little of the east.

Oklahoma (my home state- come see us!)
Texas
Kansas
Arkansas
Missouri
New Mexico
Colorado
Utah (lived there 3 years)
Wyoming
Idaho (West Yellostone)
Montana (North Yellowstone)
Nevada (Wendover, barely over the border)
California
Hawaii
Georgia (only at the airport)
Florida
Maryland (while in D.C.)
Virginia (while in D.C.)
Washington, D.C.

islandmom

I believe I've been to most. I can't recall Montana, OR, WA, or WY though. And of course Alaska Guess that means I've done 45.

sister2

39..only 11 to go.

Cassandra

Never been in Tennessee, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Arkansas, Oregon, Idaho, Montana, North Dakota, Alaska or Hawaii. Guess that makes it 39 but there are some I don't think should count, really ---

Airport only: Texas
Middle of the night on a train: Kentucky
A couple of hours just so I could say I'd been there: South Dakota

Clifton

Been to all of them, 'cept Hawaii and Alaska. May Dad spent the 60's driving us all over creation. We went from St. Louis to California (via Painted Desert) then up to Washington, and through MT and the Dakotas, and home. We were in a Chevy, but I swear that isn't his name.

Hopefully I'll get to Alaska someday. Been heading outside the US borders for vacation for awhile now.

Fun thread! I've been to 40...I'm missing AK, OR, WA, MT, ID, ND, DE, RI, NC, SC. I figure I need to fly to North Dakota and drive myself West to hit those five, then visit AK (which might happen this summer), do NC & SC in one trip, and somehow manage to hit RI and DE together. I want to hit all 50 before I TURN 50. With 23 years to go, I think I'll make it.

I'm a magnet collector, too! Not the state-shaped, ones...just something that reminds me of my trip.

Patrick

I see that I posted three years ago on this same thread. Since then I've added Alaska and North Dakota to my list. So that means 49 -- leaving only Hawaii. Just can't get exited about it. Yea, I know I'd enjoy it, but just plain not excited about it considering how expensive and far it is to get there, and the cost of staying there. I hate resort atmosphere and not into beaches (since I live just a couple blocks from a beautiful one), so I'd rather put that major travel money into Europe.
