Travel the world...where have you been?

[headless chicken]

Just curious about where everyone has been in their lives. After all, we can't stay within the ocnfines of our countries boarders forever.

In my "short" 21 years I've been to;
New Orleans just recently
West Caribbean cruise that sailed out of New Orleans
New York about 2x or 3x visiting family
Hawaii when I was like 8 or 9 y/o
Florida to Walt Disney World at 7 y/o, what kid hasn't gone to see Mickey Mouse?
Quebec City on a school trip for my compulsory french class
China my first trip out of the country when I was 4 y/o after my father passed away so you can imagine, I don't remember much

Not an extensive list but I hope to add more to it within the next 5 years after I finish school starting with Europe, Japan, then Australia.
Next month, I may be going to Detriot. Some friends down there are celebrating their youngest daughter's graduation in June. No baked goodies for them on that trip since I won't be allowed to bring food accross the boarder. No biggy.

So where has everyone else been?

 

[chrose]

Not much overseas traveling yet, but I still hope to see a few countries in the future. In the meantime I have been to Canada (Yukon territories, BC, Calgary) The Bahamas. In the states I have lived in Alaska, Maryland, Pennsylvania, New York, Vermont and Florida. I have been to California, New Jersey, Connecticut, Rhode Island, Virginia, West Virginia, Delaware, North and South Carolina, Georgia, Wisconsin, North and South Dakota, Montana, Wyoming, Washington state and Washington D.C., Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, New Hampshire....
Still more to go!

I've been across Canada twice the first time I was seven and my mom and I travelled to Montreal on Via Rail.
The last time was for the Cheftalk reunion in Montreal in '02, we went by greyhound. If you don't ever do anything else, take a greyhound across Canada it's a great experience. As for out of country travel, I've been to Washington State, ( Linden & Blaine ).

If you saw me anywhere else would you please remind me? I have a mind like a steel sieve these days it would seem.

Going to Vegas end of the month for the weekend...no gambling for me

I also forgot to mention that I went to Hong Kong while I was in China back when it was still under British rule.

 

[pepper-passion]

I was a real road warrior for 20+ years. I have been to about 35 states, and about 63 countries. This would include almost all of western Europe, Greece & Turkey, much of the middle East, about six countries in Africa, Australia & NZ.

I have also been to Pakistan, India & Nepal, and most of the countries and island nations stretching from Thailand to Korea. In the Americas I have been to Mexico, Costa Rica, Guatemala, Colombia, Ecuador, Brasil, Venezuela, Argentina, Peru, Chile, Paraguay.

This all ended a few years ago and I am now a humble woodworker and pepper merchant.
