yelizaveta

this thread is a good place to list all the places you've been and impress us all with your sophistication.

i personally love to travel, try to go somewhere at least 4 times a year, and have been to:
france, spain, portugal, germany, england, ukraine, jamaica, several parts of mexico, canada, costa rica, dominican republic, st martin, st lucia, st barts, and about half the states of america.
this sunday I am flying to cozumel for a week, and i plan to spend 2 weeks in denmark this summer.
i think my 3 favorite cities in europe would have to be madrid, barcelona, and lisbon.

I don't know that I can make a short list of cities that I love but if I had to choose just one... it would be London. I am going to live there one day, I just know it.

abaya

Eh, this should be fun... haven't counted them up in a long time. These countries don't include those where I've only been to the airport (en route to somewhere else), and they are all non-business trips, except for Zambia.

Most west-of-Mississippi and East Coast states (but not Alaska or Hawaii!)
Canada
Mexico
Iceland
Thailand
Lebanon
Zambia
South Africa
Greenland
England
France
Netherlands
Belgium
Denmark
Norway
Czech Republic
Germany
Italy
Spain
Greece

... not bad, but there are SOOOO many other places I want to go to. Haven't been anywhere in central/south America, nor have I been anywhere other than Thailand, in Asia. Am also dying to see Eastern Europe at the moment. And I very envious of Lucifer's list, with all the South Pacific destinations... mmmmmmm! Need to travel more, more, more.

I agree Abaya... so many places, so little time. I have a hankering to do south and central america as well.

If you end up in South East Asia, look me up.

Traveling like it's my job around Canada and the US. Last year I made a New Years resolution to hit one new country every month for a year. That worked until I took a new job. Starting in the middle of this summer I think I'll finish off the resolution.

I like virtual tourist for this. You can create a profile and then start adding the places you visit. Plus you can contact people who live or have recently visited places that you want to go next. I've actually made some friends this way. Cool way to connect. Check it out at http://www.virtualtourist.com.

In response to the thread:

I have been to every single state in the US (and every national park, most monuments, major museums, etc. etc. etc.)
Internationally -

Canada
Mexico
Bahamas
USVI
Grand Cayman
England
France
Nederlands
Argentina
Norway
Switzerland
Greece
Italy
Costa Rica
Haiti
Vatican
Fiji
New Zealand
Australia
Panama
Jamaica

I'm sure I'm missing a few here and there. My favorite so far is Norway, by far. Very sparsely populated, absolute natural beauty! Looking forward to maybe visiting the Far East soon.

pan6467

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

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

I've been to many national parks, as well. I'm trying to add more to my list, though--I haven't been to Yosemite or Kings Valley, and those are both parks I would like to add to my list. I would also like to see more of Olympic National Park, and I'd like to hike through North Cascades this summer, if possible (I hiked there a lot in my childhood). Right now the plan for this summer to start adding summits of mountains to my list--starting with South Sister in Oregon. We're also planning on backpacking parts of the Eagle Cap wildnerness in Eastern Oregon this summer.
