States I've not made it to:
Alaska
Montana
Idaho
Wyoming

In the 80ies my father took me on Baseball Tours. We would visit 4 to 7 pro baseball parks per trip, and made it to all of them. That is how visited most states.

Countries I've been:
Canada
Germany (young kid don't remember)
Mission Trips -
Mexico
Honduras
Costa Rica
Panama
Cruise -
Venezuela
Aruba
Antilles
Grenada
Trinidad & Tobago
I feel like there was one more stop, and looking at a map it would make sense to say Netherlands Antilles, but that doesn't sound right.

That's great advice. It's easy to think you'll be flitting around Europe after retirement, but that's when overseas travel gets hard.

Yes, it doesn't get easier. Europe has no idea what ADA means. Cobblestone streets don't care about bum feet or legs. Steep steps with no railings don't care about balance issues. The buildings don't care that they don't have elevators.

Just endured a 10.5 hour flight back from France.  Those headwinds.

Have never been to North Dakota.  I think we were in Andorra once, the border was not clearly marked and I was a bit lost.  OK, I was very lost, but I figured it out.  We found a place with no cell reception and thus no nav.

Will knock off some Baltic countries this fall and Turkey in April.  I think I have been to France 15 times now.  The hotel had a gift for us for staying ten times (we stay at the CDG airport if flying out the next day).  I've been up since 3 AM their time, which would be 9 PM EST.

States I've purposely visited/been:  FL, GA, SC, NC, VA, DC, TN, LA, MS, AL, OH, IN, AZ, CA, NV, NM, CO, UT, WY.
Other sates I've been through:  AR, OK IL, MI
.
I'd like to visit Cooperstown before I die.  NYC.  Maybe Fenway.  I have no desire to visit northern New England or the upper midwest or the pacific northwest at all.  If I had to pick an area in the U.S., I guess it'd be Montana.  That might be nice/unique.
.
My desired locales are more tropical.  St. Somewhere.  Bora Bora.  The Maldives (before they're gone).  Something like that.

Montana is interesting of course, but so are Oregon and Washington and Idaho, to me.

I have lived in Georgia, North Carolina, Ohio, and Georgia, in that order.  You can see what is on my mind.

I lived in Ohio the longest though.

I've lived in Illinois my entire life, in Chicago and various suburbs, except for my one year in the State of Madison (which is surrounded entirely by Wisconsin).


Oregon and Idaho are interesting in that I think they produce some of the best available frozen potatoes: Ore-Ida.

My nephew got married in Kalispell, Montana. The country there is very beautiful and I could see myself living there if it wasn't for one thing. Winter!!. I will never live anywhere ever again where there is a chance of snow and ice.

Some countries I think I'd like to visit include:

Vietnam
Russia
Thailand
New Zealand
Sweden
Austria
Greece
Turkey
Egypt
Morocco
South Africa (if safe)
Japan
Iceland
Argentina

The list goes on.  I visited Canada for the first time last year, but not much of it.  We will visit Turkey in April, but only Istanbul, and Russia in September but only Leningrad, or wait, St. Pete.  We will be in Sweden a few days staying with a friend.

That's a long and incomplete list also.

I was trying to count up how many times I've been to France and got 15 separate trips, the last was for four weeks.

I've only been outside the US a few times.

Mexico resorts Atlantic and Pacific 7 times

Canada a couple times

Bahamas and the Cayman's on cruises 

I think I'd like to play golf in Scotland and Ireland

a trip to Germany might be enjoyable

Lived in:
California for the vast majority of my years (Bay Area, to be specific);
Wisconsin for college;
El Paso, TX (so Texas, but, like California, it's a big enough state that the location in Texas matters);
Tennessee;
South Korea (Suwon and Kunsan).
Spent several months at Fort Lewis, in Washington, but I think it falls short of living there.

I like history, so Europe for me is always worth a visit.  I like wine, huh, they have wine in Europe too.  I like food.  They don't really have BBQ in Europe much at all though.

Going to Istanbul in April, should be interesting.
