OT: States [Not?] Visited, Countries Visited?
« on: February 19, 2020, 01:13:38 PM »
Thought this might be an interesting one in the vein of the memorable drives thread...

States you've visited, or if the list is shorter, states not visited.

Then, countries visited...

For me, states NOT visited:


  • Rhode Island
  • Vermont 
  • Arkansas
  • Oklahoma
  • North Dakota
  • Montana
  • Idaho
  • Alaska


I really want to see the big sky country states (Montana/Idaho), and Alaska is on my bucket list. Some of the others I probably won't mind if I never get there lol.

Countries visited (in order):

  • Canada
  • Mexico
  • Taiwan
  • France
  • Sweden
  • Germany
  • Austria
  • Malaysia
  • Thailand
  • China
  • Italy

I can almost count England (had to Uber from Heathrow to Gatwick) and Hong Kong (landed at airport, took car service over the border to Shenzhen), but I don't *really* count those even though I exited the airport... I didn't actually do anything to visit. 

I really want to check out Japan. But I think the next vacation destination (pushed to next year due to the puppy) will be England/Ireland, and then Japan will be the following international trip.

Been to, or visited?

North Dakota is the only state I haven't been to, but I haven't really visited Michigan--I've been to the Detroit Airport, and I've driven on a highway near South Bend. Kind of an odd omission.

Countries I've been to:
Canada
Mexico
South Korea (and North Korea, counting a walk in the DMZ)
China (only Hong Kong)
Malaysia
Thailand
Peru
England
France
Germany
Austria
Spain
Italy
Greece
(I've been in the airports in Portugal and Switzerland, but I don't think that counts)

Define it the way you want... I left Vermont off the list because I can't recall if I've been there, but if I was there it was basically just driving through. Arkansas/Oklahoma I might have driven through somewhere, but didn't count it. And as mentioned I left England and Hong Kong off the list because although I've technically left the airports in both places and stepped on terra firma, I really don't consider them as places I've "been".

I didn't count airport stops as a visit.

I figured if I spent more than 8 hours (other than driving), dined (and spent money), it's a visit.

Most of the Caribbean ones for me are cruise ship stops. The cruise line we use spends a lot of time in port - and many overnight. So, it's a visit. Most.. no need to revisit.

I don't count airports.   I must conduct an act of commerce in order to count it.  North Dakota is my weakest visit, four hours and a dinner in Fargo.  Was fishing in Detroit lakes nearby.

Wow!  All of you are very well traveled.  

States visited / lived in:
Born in Nebraska
Raised in South Dakota
Lived in Las Vegas, NV for four months
Wyoming
Colorado
Drove through Utah
Went to brother's wedding in New Jersey
North Carolina
North Dakota
Kansas
Missouri
Minnesota
Iowa 

Country visited
Canada

Guess I'm pretty much a home body.  All family vacations were in the state I was living in.  Went to Canada once for a band camp at the International Peace Gardens and once on a vacation the summer before my senior year.  First time I ever flew on a plane was for my brother's wedding in New Jersey in 2002.  Flew to NC for a work conference and those were my only two times on a plane, lol.  

Someday (when I win the lottery, lol) I want to go Germany to look up family (we came to the US in 1630 or so) so I could spend a long time just doing that, ha ha.  Luckily both sides come from Germany with only one branch from Scotland way back when.  Wouldn't have to go to a lot of countries.

Missed part two of the two part question. My list of countries is rather exotic. You are going to want to sit down for this. Consider yourself warned.

1 Canada
2 Mexico

That is all.

Umm, I've visited England and the Bahamas, Mexico.....oh, on the flight to the UK, they thought a bomb might be on board, so we landed in Dublin for a couple hours...does that count?
