I've driven through and stayed in 39 states and will add 4 new ones in the next week or so.

1 Ohio - HOME always calls me back

2 Indiana - good memories living in Indianapolis, just down the road from the track and the buildup to the race.... it becomes a party town

3 Kentucky - great horsetracks beautiful scenery

4 West Va. - boring, but nice scenery

5 Pa. - Philly is a decent town.... Pittsburgh sucks but I'm biased

6 Michigan - the drivers are nuts and it is by far the rudest nastiest dirtiest state (again I maybe biased here)

7 Ill. - nice to visit but not my cuppa tea

8 Fla. - love it, love swimming in the Gulf in March, love Santa Maria Island, Orlando for a tourist trap is a very nice city (expensive though), Tampa/St. Pete/Sarasota area.... wonderful.... Ft. Lauderdale/Miami during spring break just nuts but very cool if you are young and can handle it

9 N. Car. - the Outer Banks are a little rough with the undertow, but a very beautiful state

10 S. Car - very dirty, very tourist driven but has a dark underbelly that tainted my ever wanting to go back

11 Va. - loved Va Beach as a kid, Kings Dominion/Busch Gardens/ Williamsburg etc. very cool but as Navy and having been stationed there, again I saw the nasty underbelly and the Norfolk area is one of the most corrupt, most vile I have ever seen.

12 Md. - decent

13 Del. - decent

14 Az. - my second home, great weather, wonderful people, a great recovery community, and Lake Havasu during Spring Break is ..... well almost as great as Fla. just not as busy.

15 Okla. - flat boring

16 Colo. - beautiful absolutely beautiful people are snobs though

17 Wyoming - not as beautiful as Colorado but the people are nicer

18 Utah
19 Idaho
20 Cali
21 Georgia
22 Nevada
23 Iowa
24 Arkansas
25 Washington
26 Oregon
27 Montana
28 Missouri
29 Alabama
30 Tennessee
31 Texas
32 Connecticut
33 New Jersey
34 Maine
35 New York
36 N Mexico
37 Mississippi
38 Arkansas
39 Louisianna

(DC) Not a state


adding:
New Hampshire
Vermont
Rhode Island
Massachussets


Internationally been to:
Vancouver
London, Ontario
Toronto (Cleanest big city I ever saw)
Windsor

While in the Navy:

Halifax Nova Scotia
New Foundland
Puerto Rico
Cuba
Jamaica
US Virgin Islands

I am pretty much of the belief anything I want to see is here in the US and Canada but I would love to see Australia, New Guinea, Scandanavia, the British Isles (Esp. Ireland and Scotland), Germany, Italy...... However, I won't be disappointed if I never see them either.

Have no desire to do Mexico or anywhere in Central/South America, Africa, eastern Europe, Asia.

My response is, "I like to put forks in an eletrical socket, just LOVE that feeling, can't ever get enough of it, so will you let me put this copper fork in that electric socket?"
