36. I didn't use a map so I might have missed one, but I doubt it. I've always wanted to go to Northern CA and the Pacific NW and also ME. I'll have to try to add those sometime.

Ohio and Indiana only as Interstate drive-throughs.

I've never been further West than mid-Minnesota. One day I hope to see the Rockies and the Pacific Ocean.

I also spent six weeks in Ireland in 1970 when I was 14. My grandfather took me to a lot of pubs and my grandmother took me to a lot of churches.

I've been in quite a few, especially thanks to my last girlfriend. I can name off most of them, but there was one long road trip from Colorado to Georgia that I couldn't tell you all the states we visited in between, and another trip where we flew into Georgia, then drove up to Washington DC and some places thereabouts. But again, I suck at my geography to the east, and so I will not have any clue about several states. And we had gone up more north to where she attended school in Annapolis, so there are so more states I have no idea about that we travelled through. States I can clearly say I have not visited - Alaska, Hawaii, Washington. Other than that, it's a blur.


Christ, I'm apathetic.

We saw lots of states, but hardly any cities -- Dad hated 'em.

Out of all our travels, the least impressive tourist thing, as far as I was concerned, was the Petrified Forest. I was expecting a forest of tall trees, but made out of rock. Boy, was I disappointed.

[Seareach]

I haven't traveled much:

the US:
California
Nevada
Utah
Did we do a bit of Wyoming, Cyn?
Colorado
New Mexico
Arizona


Other than just, just Oz states (four of them) and England & Ireland.
