All the places I've visited.

Thanks for the idea Anna

Here are all the countries I've visited, in order:

USA
Canada
Mexico
Austria
Egypt
Jordan
Palestine
Israel
Italy

Oh man, that's only 9. And numbers 4-9 were all visited within a 3 month period, so it seems like I'm more traveled than I really am.  I just went on one really cool trip the summer of 2007.  Anyway, I'm also going to list the States I've been to.  There's no way I could tell you the order they were visited, so I'll do it alphabetically.  And there is always the question if you have a layover at an airport, can you count that state as being visited?  What do you think?

Black is yes, red is no

Alabama
Arizona
Arkansas
California
Colorado
Connecticut
Delaware
Florida
Georgia
Hawaii
Idaho
Illinois
Indiana
Iowa
Kansas
Kentucky
Louisiana
Maine
Maryland
Massachusetts
Michigan
Minnesota
Mississippi
Missouri
Montana
Nebraska
Nevada
New Hampshire
New Jersey

Phew, 26, just over half!  The Northeast is, by far, the area of the country that I've least explored.


Also, I have a (probably unrealistic) goal  to visit all 7 continents before I die.  I've got 4 of 7 (North America, Europe, Africa, Asia).  Although Egypt and Jordan really are the Middle East.  Which isn't it's own continent, but it's more of a unique culture. So It kind of feels like cheating. Since I really don't feel like I've really experienced what I imagine as the culture of Africa and the culture of Asia, so I probably still need to visit Madagascar or South Africa, and Vietnam or Japan.
I still need South America, Australia, and Antarctica.

Antarctica will be, by far, the most difficult.
South America is, by far, the most frightening to me.
Australia is, by far, the place I most want to visit.
And, of all the places I've been so far, Hawaii was my most favorite and the the place that I most want to live.
