From the time I was 10, we spent summer vacations traveling the U.S. by station wagon. By the time I was 13, I had visited by car Mexico, Canada, and every state except Alaska and Hawaii. I am now 48.

Wow. What a surprise to see my thread again!

Now I'm at 47 states. We managed to visit Mississippi, briefly (lunch in Corinth), last December. I was in Huntsville, AL, within a few hours of Mississippi, so I just had to plan a day trip over the border.

ND, HI, AK remain.....

I've been to 49 states and as soon as they complete the bridge, I'm going to Hawaii!

Not counting airports, I've been to 27.
I've only been to 6 other countries.

I've been to 10 + DC.
My wife has me beat by far though.

But I've been to 14 countries :)

Since I first posted on this thread, I visited the west coast for the first time. So I can now add Washington State to my belt. I liked it so much I'm going again at the end of the month.

North Dakota was my 50th state,also have been in every city over one million except Detroit( which is ok with me) but have only been in 9 countries.

Bobmrg May 2nd, 2007 09:06 AM

I'm missing Maine and Vermont.

i have been to 20 states and 4 different countires, many states still remain in the eastern part of the united states

suze May 14th, 2007 01:27 PM

primobacio~ Well, I would not expect state to have moved!!!

NewbE May 14th, 2007 01:53 PM

27 plus DC, but I don't count the ones I stayed overnight in while driving across the country. I guess my rule is 2 or more nights, OR seeing/doing something significant while there. Motel-by-the-highway for 10 hours doesn't count for me.

NewbE May 14th, 2007 01:53 PM

No, wait, d'oh! It's 28 plus DC! My bad.

dwooddon May 14th, 2007 04:37 PM

For me, it's 47 but I will have had feet on the ground in all fifty before the end of the year. I'm still lacking Connecticut and Rhode Island, both of which I'll visit in mid-July on a genealogical research trip. Then, I'll only have North Dakota left and I plan to do a road trip in September that will allow me to cross that one off the list.

I've also had the good fortune to visit 20 other countries and independent islands and, hopefully, I haven't finished with that list yet, either.

trippinkpj May 14th, 2007 06:46 PM

30, counting DC. So I still have more road trippin to do! ;-)

North Dakota was my FIRST state, as I was born there. I left at age 10 and have now seen all states except AK, ID, and OR. Recently, I took my own children through there and I highly recommend the Medora musical in the western part of the state called the Badlands. It's a great trip when combined with Mount Rushmore.

julie_Colorado May 15th, 2007 04:30 AM

We've done all 50 - really visited, not just the airport thing. Since my husband is a camper and a stay at home dad, he loaded up the kids for several weeks (as many as 8) each summer.

KarenL May 15th, 2007 05:00 AM

I'm only at 28 states, so still have a long way to go. Plus I've been to 8 countries (5 of them Island countries).

I need to get traveling.

jdraper May 16th, 2007 06:01 PM

31 states and 11 countries. I need to get busy there is so much more out there to see.
