Would like to go to Ireland, Scotland, back to England, Germany and France and the Scandinavian countries. Would like to see the Aurora Borealis in Alaska someday.

    Every normal man must be tempted at times to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats. -- H.L. Mencken

    The notion that a radical is one who hates his country is naïve and usually idiotic. He is, more likely, one who likes his country more than the rest of us, and is thus more disturbed than the rest of us when he sees it debauched. He is not a bad citizen turning to crime; he is a good citizen driven to despair.― H.L. Mencken

    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.

    Spain, France, Italy, Greece, Mexico per Sam. Japan, Korea and Germany per work. Most of Canada east of Detroit. Can't think of a state other than Alaska & Hawaii I haven't at least driven through. Really don't care to go anywhere anymore. Well, maybe Ireland but that isn't going to happen.
    Whatever!

    We are trying to visit all 50 states before the oldest graduates, he’s a senior this upcoming year.

    We’re in Ohio and going on a trip this year to Maine and back. After that all we have is Alaska, Washington and Oregon left.

    With that said been to Hawaii twice, Niagara Falls, Canada and Cancun, Mexico.
