So? I've only been to 11, including three trips to Hawaii. But, I've been all over Mexico on several trips, all over Costa Rica on several trips, 2 Fiji Islands, Australia, including a 5 day sail on the GBR and Belize. I enjoy international travel, so shoot me that I don't know my own country all that well.

Oh, how could I forget? I've been to Bali too and this year will add the Maldives.

ALL 50 and DC. Surprising- 16 trips to Alaska. But also many trips to W. Europe before I got on the Alaska kick and I'm not even 50 myself. Happy travels everyone.

50, as of August 23, 2004, Hawaii was my final state...not bad for only being 22 at the time!

49. When DH and I return from Alaska in July we have been to ALL 50 states. Not just passing through but visiting and taking in all the sights and history that we were interested in. And we have also been to almost all of the Canada Providence, except Nova Scotia.

This is a fun thread! I have been to about 40. Missing California, Washington Oregon, Vermont, New Hampshire, Mass, Hawaii, Alaska, Maine, Rhode Island. I want to eventually travel to all 50 states, but right now I am much more interested in Europe, and every time we try to plan a US trip we end up going to Europe instead. Oh well...I'm only 27 so I guess I have plenty of time left!

I agree with tcreath. I've only been to 24 states,as DH and I are taking most of our vacations in Europe for now, planning on spending our "Golden Years" traversing the US.

It's 46 for me. Still missing Alaska, South Carolina, Mississippi and Arkansas. Alaska is definitely on the short list of to do soon. The other three are in the distant future.

48. I'm missing Maine and Vermont.

49. Missing North Dakota.

Have been at 48 for a long time. Planning to knock off Alaska this summer with about a 10 day trip. Then I will only have Delaware left.

47 - but after this summer, when we cruise Alaska, it will leave only N. Dakota and Hawaii (funny how many of us haven't made it to ND, eh?) The Alaska journey will also help us complete the Canadian provinces.

This is a fun thread - but one of the best (saddest?) things about its revival is seeing all the (helpful/interesting) posters who were regulars back in '01, and now are not seen here.

I've been to 27 but since that is only a little over half, I won't list the ones that I have yet to travel to. Most are in the middle of the country.

42 states

I still need Arkansas, the Dakotas, the Virginias, Michigan, Iowa, and Kansas.

46 (plus Puerto Rico)

Missing: Maine, Vermont, New Hampshire, and South Carolina.

OK..since you asked. I've been to all 50 plus the territories of Guam and Puerto Rico and the US Virgin Islands.

Hi!
So far I have been to 30 states plus DC. That does not count airport layovers or the 8 or 9 extra states I was in as a 2 year old on a cross country trip (since I don't remember it). It does count drive-throughs if I at least got out for lunch or something. I have been to Puerto Rico, but not Guam. I will be in Washington for the first time this summer.

I have been to 10 countries outside the U.S.
Not a bad start, but lots left to do and see!! I often feel torn between returning to places I love and exploring new places - I love it all. Happy travels!

I've only been to about 24! I have a huge void when it comes to landlocked states, the only one I've been to is Arizona, Vermont and Illinois (Chicago), been all over the east and west coasts and Hawaii, but I completely skip the middle of the country.

I can't say that I have any desire to go to landlocked states, I need to be near the coast.

48- but i have unfair advantage. i'm an air force brat and every time we moved we had to drive to northern woods of minnesota on the way to visit grandma. until a few years ago i was missing arizona (funny my parents had met and married there 54 years ago) but we went to hoover dam (my architect's husband's choice on his 40th birthday so i couldn't say no) from vegas so i walked across the top and picked up another state. made it worthwhile for me!!

43. Still need:
North Dakota
South Dakota
Nebraksa
Kansas
Oregon
Utah
Alaska.

do you think I could do ND, SD, NE and KS driving in a week?
