Let’s see, for the continental US my basic rule of thumb is that I had to have spent the night and airport layovers and drive through don’t count. So that just leaves Idaho, Montana and oddly enough New Mexico. Yep got Alaska and Hawaii checked off.

Outside the US: Canada, Germany, Mexico (if Tijuana counts) Singapore, Thailand, Korea, Mainland Japan, Okinawa, Hong Kong, Philippines

Just the East and West coasts with Ohio and Minnesota thrown in. Did some travel in Canada, beautiful country. Was in Japan for business. Fly in, trouble shoot a manufacturing problem for KHI, fly out. Not much sightseeing. I saw Japanese airports, Japanese trains and Japanese factories. The last night in Tokyo I stayed in a hotel with a traditional garden. It was gorgeous and relaxing after a truly hectic few days. I spent several hours strolling the grounds and drinking it in.

Lower 48, AK, MX, Canada... but I come back to northern MN as my favorite place to visit. When I was young and in good shape I would do a 2 week solo canoe trip in the Boundary Waters. Carried minimal food in with me and ate off the land as I went. It was easy to catch fish and I brought in cooking oil, bit f flour, and S&P for fried fish at night. Breakfast was panfish in foil packets that cooked int he coals f the previous nights fire. Let it cook as I broke camp for he next leg of the trip. I tool routes that were rarely traveled and often went 2 weeks without seeing another human! Those routes had challenging portages to get around the rapids between lakes!

From Illinois west and south to Kentucky, then east to Georgia. I have never visited the North East except to fly out of. Germany, Albania, Greece, Italy, Canada, Mexico, Uruguay, Argentina, Chile, Falkland Islands.
As far as preference, there is no better week than hunting or fishing and not seeing anyone outside of your party. Even better if you can stand 3 of 4 days by yourself.

I've been south to San Antonio Tx and Bia San Quentin Baja (sounds more like canteen that the Cali prison) north to some little town on I-5 east of Vancouver and north of Seattle and Calgary AB .

Baja Mexico
Alberta Canada
Washington State
Oregon
California , my birth was registered in Bakersfield .
Arizona
Nevada
Idaho
Montana
Utah
New Mexico
Kansas those 8 months were the longest 5 yr of my life .
Wyoming , Buford is a stupid place to leave a car .
Nebraska
Oklahoma
Arkansas
Missouri
Illinois , my daughter graduated from Great Lakes .
Indiana , Bloomfield , home of the Handyman Jack .

I did it all on my dime with as many as 4 kids in tow except for Calgary AB . I did drink a Labetts in the bar from Cool Runnings . I got to crawl around in the Lancaster Bomber in Nanton before it was much more than a plane in a barn .

I grew up about 35 miles from the ejection seat canopy failure scene site in the first Top Gun movie and about 75 miles from the long time home of the actual Bonnie and Clyde car as well as the one time huge Harrah's automobile collection .

I once dreamed of standing in the shadow of the Victors Arch in Rome and Paris but having been to London Bridge cured that need . For those that don't know the Lake Havasu land mark is the actual falling down bridge where Wm Wallace had his head hung after that whole whooping he laid down on Edward the First's Army .
I've been to the Roadkill Cafe and stood on that corner in Winslow Az .

Albuquerque is as weird as it's spelling , Tucumcari and Xuzax are different but seem pretty friendly .

I liked Groom Tx until I realized what it looked like I was seeing nice people but definitely a "the intrastate is over there" kind of vibe . Nice cross though .
If you are artsy I would recommend you see the Cadillac Ranch soon because it will probably be crumbling under the weight of the paint in another 5-10 yr .

Bonneville looks different than you would expect . Canyon Lands and Arches national parks still shine . SLC is just another city .

Minden Nebraska has a pretty cool walk through park/museum thing .

There's a lot of cool wild west stuff all along US 54 from Tucumcari up across Oklahoma to Salina and Liberal Ks . The state fair is pretty good too .

I live about 40 miles from Mansfield AR now . It boasts a pretty big saw mill and a Guinness book and Ripley's cemetery/grave yard . It's not however famous for being the resting place of the actor Arthur Hunicutt , it's because it has US 71 running through the middle of it and it's the only one of it's kind .

Baja was Amazing 30 yr I don't think I'd go back now . Turns out where we often fished just off the bay is a seal island ........every yr it sees an influx just in time for the pupping season of great whites , as many as 30 known and identified regulars of 16-18' and a bunch of little ones just 12-14' ..........I didn't know that but I had a moment when I learned that I felt pretty small and helpless in that 16' Glasspar . It was a pretty awesome day fishing with my Dad , Grandfather , and 2 sons .
