How many states have you set foot in?

[AWD]

I'm at 26, almost every eastern state and a hopscotch towards California.

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

1. Every single one

Took road trips to various regions over the years and got to all of them.

Hawaii of course was not by road nor was Alaska...(did a cruise there a few years back)

[neuvocat]

2. Nice.

Mine's at 6 so far.

[ProfessorGAC]

38. Me, Too!

My family used to travel by trailer all over the U.S. every summer. Before i was 14 i was in every contiguous state. I went to Alaska on a biz trip to Seattle (took a vacation day and flew into Anchorage) just to go to Alaska.

Then, i went to Hawaii for a conference with the Far East division of a major customer. Bad weather when i was there, (lots and lots of rain and heavy winds), but at least i was there.

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

39. Let me guess...Hawaii trip was August or September?

Hurricane season?

[SiobhanClancy]

40. Me,too...all 50

Kudos to my parents for all the great road trips when I was a child:)I'm sure they probably would have preferred to be off on a cruise somewhere,but they thought we ought to see our country.

[boilerbabe]

74. I like the kitty signature you have! n/t

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

79. My folks too...

My dad made sure no MATTER how tight things were that we took a LEARNING trip somewhere every single year..usually to several states at a time...I think I have probably visited every major museum in the US.

24. Uh, there IS land west of the Appalachians, ya know?

;-)

Let's move past the 13 colonies, mmmmkay? :P

[supernova]

26. LOL! You are right

of course.

You mean the earth just doesn't fall off on the west bank of the Mississippi?

:scared: :silly:

The problem here is economics. It's often cheaper from the East Coast to visit Europe as it is to go out west. Actually, TX is doable for me. My cousins live in the Dallas/Ft Worth area. I would love to visit them.

I'm dying to visit Austin! :D

[GOPisEvil]

27. I know whatcha mean.

Let me know if you ever head this way. We'll plan a little party. :party:

[BrotherBuzz]

56. Forty-nine

Alaska is the only state that has eluded me. Hmmm Alaska. Hey, on a technicality I may not have actually 'set foot in' Alabama as I remember just driving through the state along the gulf coast (New Orleans to Florida), and don't remember getting out of my car. Forty-eight for sure.

[Art_from_Ark]

69. Forty-nine

[Awsi Dooger]

80. 49, still missing Hawaii

My parents are retired teachers. We traveled extensively every summer when I was in school, and my current job allows the summer off as well. And away I go, each possible day.

Alaska was a wonderful addition as #49 a few summers ago. I think I would return there instead of finally nailing Hawaii to complete the list. Hawaii reportedly has the most expensive golf in the country, even above #2 Nevada, where I live now. During summer I'm looking for $20 courses to revive my game on a daily basis, not more stuffy and overrated $100 tracks that require a cart and etiquette.
