It’s participation time at Dad2twins.com (Where have you been?)

By User Imagedad2twins on Apr 15, 2008 in Did I ask for your advice?, Featured, Random thoughts..., What was I thinking?

I am fortunate that I get to travel a lot. My family likes to do family vacations in far away destinations. When my Dad was alive he would pick these great locations for us to visit. They would usually involve warm weather and beaches. My Mom is continuing the travel tradition. With a little more variety though. We are about to pack up the kids and join the rest of the family on a visit to Tahiti and New Zealand this Summer (Their Winter). We can’t wait.

That got me thinking.  How many states and countries have I been to in my lifetime.  Keep in mind I visit Germany often to visit my Wife’s family. So European countries are heavy on my list.

I would love to know how many States and Countries you’ve been to as well. What was your favorite?

(Editors note: I was once with a few band and we traveled a lot. That is where most of these states on the list came from. Many years of playing dive bars and college towns. Also driving mile after mile with stinky band mates. Oh the fun.)

Here is my list as of today:

  5. Next up: How many states & countries have you lived in?

    Becky | Apr 21, 2008 | Reply

  6. How have you been to New York, Massachusetts, and Rhode Island, but not Connecticut?

    My lists would be short: every state between and including Maine and Virginia plus Florida and Hawaii. (And a couple others but only at airports so they don’t really count.) For countries, I’ve got USA, Mexico, Bahamas, Caymans, and Spain. As soon as Clare’s a little older, I hope to work on both of those lists.
