If things turn out according to plan, I may be able to add Colorado (and possibly Nebraska and Iowa, depending on whether we drive or fly) to my list by August.

What do you count as "been to"? I've set foot in quite a few states via state line, at airports or driven through.

If that counts, here's my list:

Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, New Mexico, Arizona, Nevada, Utah, Colorado, Illinois, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Virginia, West Virginia, New York, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Idaho, and Washington.

I've lived in Texas, Louisiana and New Hampshire.

The only foreign country I've been to is Mexico.

If my body was physically on the ground in the state, I count the state.

Otherwise I'd have to discount South Carolina, which my father obligingly hit the far western corner of on our way back from Florida, because it was the only state east of the Mississippi that I hadn't been in. (Please don't make me go back there!)

Once you do that, you gain a mystic fun ball power useable in the protectorates of Guam and Puerto Rico [which almost always, for some mysterious reason, usually involves massage by hotties or tattoos]
