Aside from where you live, how many U.S. States have you visited? (As in visited, I mean stayed for a length of time rather than driven or flown over.)

I have effectively been to only two others, unfortunately.

[FireWire]

Three years ago, in the summer of 2004, my father and I traveled to the western part of the country by car. We started in Montréal and we crossed the country until we reached California. Awesome trip! We crossed many states, but we really visited 7 states.

The first one was Colorado. We didn't stay long because it was the monsoon and as we were camping, it was a bit too cold to stay in the mountains. We then drove south to New Mexico. Much hotter We continued to Texas and arrived in El Paso for the 4th of July. I had never seen so much (non-professional) fireworks in my life! It was like every citizen had bought a truckload of them and were igniting them anywhere. Quite a sight! We then moved to Arizona, then Utah. Then we went to Nevada (I have to come back to Vice City ) and finally California, where we spent about a month (half the trip). That was the ultimate road trip: 20 000 km (12 500 miles) in two months!

I also visited Florida a couple of times when I was younger. So I can say I visited 8 states in total. Pretty good for a Canadian

[Big Mac]

Pretty cool, FireWire.

[Trygve]

I've spent time (not just passing through) in about 15 US states and 55 countries. Actually lived in 2 US states and 5 countries.

[Nivag]

I've been on holiday to 3 States and have flown in and out of another 2.

[Randman]

I've been to 35 of the 50 States, Washington DC, and have visited (or lived) in Canada, Mexico, Australia, Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia, Vietnam, Cambodia, Hong Kong, China, Japan, UAE, England, France, Switzerland, Germany, Netherlands, Austria, Italy and Spain.

Oh, and I'm originally from New Mexico and was once asked (while in Arkansas) if I had any trouble getting into the US from New Mexico and that my "English was purty good". So does that count extra?

That's pretty extensive.

[residentEvil]

I've spent time (as in days, not just passing through) in all of the States but 4. I've also been to Canada, Mexico and all of the Caribbean but Cuba. Next fall, I will be hitting Germany and a few additional countries.

Hopefully nobody said "You sure got a purdy mouth" to you. And how did you like UAE? Been there a times courtesy of the Navy and I thought it was beautiful. Italy, as well.

[driven]

My job keeps me traveling a lot so I've probably visited more than most.

36 states as of this year (plus DC)

Nobody asked about international travel, but since it was also previously mentioned, add these stamps to my passport:
- Thailand, Laos, Japan, Singapore, South Korea, Canada, Jamaica, Mexico, England, Holland, Germany

[Sky Captain]

32.(That dosen't include flown over and didn't land)
Haven't been to Hawaii.

[His Dudeness]

Well, let's see: Hawaii, Washington, Oregon, Arizona, New Mexico, Kentucky, North Cakalaki, South Kakalaki, Georgia, Floriduh, Missipii, Alabama (Greenbow), Virginia, Connecticut, Tennsee...

And abroad: Hawaii (Little Tokyo), Canada, Panama, Curacao, Spain, Italy, UAE, France, Norway, Germany, Austria, Saudia Arabia (just Prince Sultan Air Base, which probably doesn't count for ****) and lowly St. Thomas, which is (unfortunately) a US owned piece of **** island that I will never ever ever ever ever EVAR set foot upon for the rest of eternity. I'm sure I forgot a place or two...

I'd go back to Hawaii so fast it'd make your propeller spin.

[JoshuaZ]

Twentyish. I forget. I've never been to the west coast. So sad.

[richwig83]

Louisiana (New Orleans)
Massachusetts (Boston)
California (San Fran, LA, Palm Springs)
Arizona (Pheonix Flagstaff [Has anyone else been on the Apache Trail???])
Nevada (Vegas)
Florida

(Alberta and B.C. but i guess they dont count)

[Atheist]

States: 35 + DC
Countries: 15
Continents: 4 (My goal is to hit them all, but unsure about Antarctica...doesn't seem realistic)

[Dakarʒ]

Hmmm... New York, Pennsylvania, Maryland, D.C., Virginia, Florida, Massachusetts, Delaware, New Jersey, Ohio, Illinois. That's 10.5, which is about twice as high as I imagined.

[osiris]

I think 24 US states. I'd like to tour all 50 someday, maybe in a big RV over the course of a year.
+4 countries.

[design219]

This thread reminds me of that great Johnny Cash song "I've been everywhere."

I think I've been to about half.

[OldManMac]

34 states, 5 countries

[Mac User #001]

18 states, though I've traveled through nearly all of the continental US except the North Eastern area. Canada and Mexico.

[turtle777]

30 States + DC
22 Countries.

Still don't feel like I have travelled THAt much. It's all relative, I guess...

-t

[irunat2am]

I have not visited enough! That's for sure!

[theDreamer]

I think I am around 10 states currently.
Visited about four other countries, and so far all done before I turned 21, though I am 21 now.

My goal is to hit most places in the world to learn and enjoy all that our world has to offer, maybe by the end of my days see space travel become more of a standard thing.

[design219]

I think China will have the moon in a few years. I want to see both. Maybe with one trip.

[macroy]

I was doing INFOSEC reviews of state governments for my client in my last job... so between that and personal travel, I've been to pretty much all of them except:

Alaska
Michigan
Oregon
Utah
New Mexico
and Maine

And let me tell ya.... State Capitals are NOT usually the place to be for that state..... Jefferson City? eww....

Montana was probably the most beautiful state IMO.
On personal travel, I think Sedona, AZ and Monument Valley are the most scenic.

As for International travel.... Japan, Taiwan, Thailand, and Canada (does that count?).. oh and of course, I live in Maryland... so U.S. as well.

[JMan09]

In the U.S. I've been to Washington, Colorado, Nevada, Oklahoma, Louisiana, New Jersey, New York, Connecticut, and Rhode Island. I've been to a few more but just stopping in the airports.

International travel as been to Italy, Switzerland, Aruba, and Spain. And also Gatwick Airport in London for 8 hours twice, so does that count.

[peeb]

Afghanistan, American Samoa, Antigua, Australia, Austria, Bahamas, Bahrain, Belgium, Bosnia, Britain, Bulgaria, Canada, Columbia, Cuba, Curacao, Denmark, Ecuador, El Salvador, France, Germany, Greenland, Guam, Honduras, Iceland, Diego Garcia (Indian Ocean), Indonesia, Italy, Japan, Johnston Atoll (Pacific), Korea, Kosovo, Kuwait, Kwajalein Atoll (Pacific), Kygyzstan, Luxembourg, Netherlands, New Zealand/Aotearoa, Norway, Oman, Pakistan, Peru, Portugal, Puerto Rico, Portugal, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, Spain, St. Helena (Atlantic), Tajikistan, Turkey, Egypt, Uzbekistan, Virgin Islands, Wake Island (Pacific).

Yawn. You haven't been to Kentucky?

No, it's a joke - it's the list of states that have US military bases.

[MacosNerd]

I've been to a few (in no particular order)
HI, NY, ME, NH, VT, SC,GA, FL CT, RI, PA, NJ

[peeb]

Is that one of the Flyover States?

[design219]

Not really, even the air traffic avoids us.

Actually, I almost asked if you were in the service. Ah well...

[Person Man]

Well, I live in Ohio.

I've been to: California, Texas, Iowa, Missouri, Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, West Virginia, New York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Virginia, Maryland, and D.C. Counting Ohio, that's 14 states that I have physically been in for at least one day and one night. I have not been in any other states at all (even just "passing through"). This October I will add Massachusetts to the list as I will be there for a week on business.

I've been in Canada, Germany, Greece, Switzerland, and Italy for at least a day and a night. I've "passed through" Austria (On a German exchange trip to Garmisch-Partenkirchen our tour bus crossed the border into Austria for about 30 minutes drive time and back into Germany). I remember them telling us to be quiet and not say a word so they could lie to the border agents and say we were all Germans).

hehe.

I doubt they'd even care about something that happened in 1992.

Oh, and why only the German authorities? Why not the Austrian ones too?

Nah, the Germans don't like the Austrians

It's a relationship like US and Canada.

[Judge_Fire]

6 : Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, New York, New Jersey and ... California. A nice country to visit for vacations and lots of states still on my list

The airport and immigration horror stories have kinda affected this, though. Low dollar benefits vs. police state with absurd restrictions on freedoms - difficult choice.

[ghporter]

Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Kentucky, Tennessee, Georgia, South Carolina, Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas, Oklahoma, Colorado, and D.C. I'm not counting Illinois or Missouri because I've only been in airports there. I have spent more than just a layover in both Pa and Ga, but more time in airports there than anything else.

I've also been to Canada, Mexico, Jamaica, The Caymans, Honduras and Panama. The first four were voluntarily, but Uncle Sam sent me to Honduras and Panama.

[0157988944]

PA, OH, NH, ME (Middle of the Atlantic Ocean on an island we sea kayaked to off the coast of Maine, but still, Maine), MA, NJ, NY, DC, VA, and MD.

[- - e r i k - -]

Nil.

However:

[residentEvil]

Where is Wakko when you need him? Where is that youtube video of the real person who does his voice doing it for the camera? Awesome!

yakko = countries

wakko = states

need. those. videos.

[MacinTommy]

Florida, Alabama, South Carolina, North Carolina, Virginia, West Virginia, Kentucky, Ohio, Tennessee, Maryland, New York, Connecticut, Michigan, Mississippi, Texas...so 15..... And I live in Georgia(16). The only places out of the country that I've been are the Bahammas and Canada, eh. Its kind of weak but I'm still young.. I could care less about the rest of th U.S. just take me to Italy!

[highstakes]

About 10-15 of them

There are trips that go to Antarctica from Australia and (I believe) South America.
