My Number is:7

Cali, Nevada, Oregon, Washington, Virginia, Chicago, New York

Where I still want to travel:

Hawaii, Lousiana, Alabama, New Jersey, Florida, Alaska, Michigan

My number is 0. Been to all, orginally from Massachusetts, travelled a great deal as a road warrior for work, and decided to retire in the great state of Montana.
Loving every second!!!

49, and as soon as they get the bridge completed, I'm going to Hawaii!

susanrford - Fargo, ND to Kansas City, KS is about 600 miles on I-29. You can do it in a day. Just make sure you cross into NE somewhere, as I-29 stayed on the east side of the Missouri River. It's less than 600 miles if you go from border of ND/SD to border of NE/KS.

Reached my goal of all 50 when I flew to Nebraska for lunch from Chicago with a friend. Airfare was a bargain so I could not resist!!

I'm no where close to you guys, but here it goes.

California
Nevada
Minnesota
Arizona
Florida
Georgia
New York
Texas (for a short day)
Illinois
Wisconsin
Indiana
Michigan
Nebraska
Hawaii (planned for this year)
Washington (coming up)

Does Colorado count if I only made flight connections thru DEN (multiple times, both Stapleton and the new one)?

I'd say you were in CO twice mrw

Aloha!

Ok, then I've been to 38. Remaining:
Alaska
Alabama
Iowa
North Dakota
South Dakota
Nebraska
Kansas
Oregon
Idaho
Montana
Wyoming
Utah

About 25 years ago me and gf tried to go to Mount Vernon but couldn't find a parking spot. We did check out the license plates though and counted around 47, including both Alaska and Hawaii.

Currently I'm up to 32....will be visiting Michigan next month so that'll be 33...

I still have yet to visit the Great Plains region...hopefully soon!

I'm only at 24, plus DC, the Virgin Islands, and Puerto Rico. I am missing a lot of the midwest/southwest/west. I am going to Utah in about 3 weeks. I've been trying to decide if we can fit in a detour to NM (I've been to NV AZ, and CO).

I seem to keep going to Europe or Latin America...I've been to 22 countries so far.

Interesting thread. Personally, my definition of "visiting" a state requires an overnight stay. If I was there less than 24 hours, as in driving through, or an airport connection, I didn't think that counted.

So, using the definition of overnight stays only, I have visited . . .

50 states

It took me about five or six years to accomplish, using vacations and personal time.

Nobody so far has mentioned what I "collect" from each state, or at least tried to, from most of them. That is simply taking a photo of the "Welcome to" state signs at the border!

Well, this may sound crazy, but my hubby and I consider it a legit visit if you've used a lav in the state. :)

I'm missing Oregon, N. Dakota, Kansas, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Colorado, Iowa, Missouri, Arkansas, Nebraska, and Michigan. So I guess I've been to 39 states so far. I will finish them all some day. Oregon and New Mexico will probably be the next ones I hit.

I drove across the MA border into Vermont, stopped in a convenience store and bought a mini-pie, and ate it. That counts for Vermont, in my book.

Sort of on the same topic as this thread: I've been to 39 of the 47 prefectures of Japan.

I didn't really start traveling until I was 18 (never left CA until I was 20!) but I've been to 42 (many on trips as a Girl Scout Advisor). Left to do: Alaska, Kansas, OK, MO, MI, Alabama, CT, and RI.

Like many of you I grew up camping all over the US and Canada. So by the time I graduated from High School, I had covered all but 10 states. Since then my husband and I have picked up where my parents left off. Now I have Alaska, Hawaii, Maine, Idaho, Washington, and Vermont to go. And we have covered all but 2 continents. I hope to cover Alaska and Hawaii on my sabbatical next year.

Still need to visit ME, NH, CT and VT.

I can't think of a single reason why I should go to ND or AR.

I've only been to 32 plus DC,PR, and St. Thomas

Missing are: Alaska, Colorado, Connecticut,Idaho, Iowa, Kansas, Montana, Minnesota, Nebraska, New Hampshire, North Dakota, South Dakota, Oregon, Rhode Island, Vermont, Washington, Wisconsin, Wyoming.

I don't think I have a burning desire to complete them all - though I'm sure they all have something great to offer. The states I'm missing are just so spread out from each other - too many trips to pick them all up. Maybe when I retire.

About 10 - pretty good for a non American
NY, Kentucky, Ohio, Hawaii, FL, CAL, Nevada, Michigan, Illinois, Indiana
Also been to USVI and Puerto Rico
