The only place I have been in Canada is the very southern part of Alberta just to say I have been to Canada Roll Eyes

I would love to go overseas as well but the first country I want to visit is Germany and the U.K.

If you like mountains (and I mean high mountains, not hills like some people think hills are mountains), Montana is a great place to visit. Glacier Park is a neat place even though most of the glaciers are melting way too fast.
And most of the people are pretty nice and friendly.

One of my favorite states to visit is Colorado but it has been a long time since I have been there.

Yes, airports do count

Even if you rode a train through a state that would count too.

I went through Arizona on Interstate 15 but it was not an actual visit and it was so brief I did not list Arizona since I really did not visit it. So, I could include Arizona but only as briefly traveling through the very tip of the northwest of the state.

Maybe I should start a thread of what countries people have been to Roll Eyes

I was only counting places that I'd actually stepped foot in for at least an hour or so, but if all airports and just driving through counts, then I've been to many more places. I forgot to mention that I'd also like to go to Alaska. I hate the cold but I'd love to visit there once.

On business, flown direct:

Detriot, Mi. (too many times to count)
Denver, Co.
Orlando, Fl.
San Diego, Ca.
Eau Claire, Wi. (driven to from Mineapolis)
which included the airport in
Minneapolis, Mn.

And a stopover, if it counts being in a state while only being in an airport:
SLC, Ut.

On a family trip in 1969 when I was preteen age:
Kansas
Colorodo
Utah
Nevada
Arizona
New Mexico
Texas
Oklahoma
(with a very brief trip into Mexico.

My honeymoon to New Orleans (driven) included:
Arkansas
Kentucky
Tennesee
Mississippi
Louisiana

My fishing trip to Canada in '80 was also a drive:
Iowa
Minnesota

Illinois had a drinking age of 19 in the mid 70's. Therefore I include it because it's close and visited a bar there on old Hwy. 50 often.

Short answer: 20 states total. My parents have made all 50.

Biker Braid.. you've been to over 30 states! Shocked

What a list! Grin

I hadn't realized how many states I had been to until I started that list. Having worked a consulting job that required travel helped me get to many of those states. My current job also requires travel and has added several more states to the list. When I retire, I hope to bike in all 50 states. Hubby and I are drooling over a bike trip in the fall to the northeast. Don't know if we can swing the finances for it yet, but it does look lovely!

Ha Ha, that beats me by one. I once drove in front of the Capitol building if Jeff City but it was midnight and I was on a driving binge to get out of my parents house for the night. (I was only 19 at the time and Jeff City is 120 miles away.

Wow. I don't like to drive so I never thought of getting away from my parents by driving. I used to look out the window and wish aliens would come and take me away.
