I have always loved to travel and I've been to 47 US states. My family went on only 3 major vacations when I was a kid and we drove through a lot of states. I've been to others due to races or vacations. The only 3 I haven't been to is New Mexico, Utah, and Hawaii. I really want to see the national parks in Utah and the magnificent scenery in Utah. and of course Hawaii!! but now that I'm overseas those states are going to have to wait. Now I'm working on Countries. :)
When I moved overseas I had only been to 4 countries.
1) United States - lived there my whole life
2) Mexico - a 10 day high school Spanish trip
3) Canada - a one day stop on a cruise
4) Ecuador - a total of about 30 days in three summers
Pretty limited traveler!!
