[Champ]

7 here (Colorado, Wyoming, New Mexico, Arizona(where I currently reside), Nevada, California, and Utah)

[TaleWgnDg]

1. Try the East Coast . . .

the north east coast, that is. Tis fine "up here."

This is the DU member still known as a DU insomniac. :hi:

Interesting....half in blue and half in red both ones I've visited and ones I've lived. No wonder I feel so centrist.

Haven't been to Hawaii or Alaska and missed out on most of the secessionist Deep South.

[Abelman]

3. Not Many

Alaska (Now), Michigan (Born), Wisconsin, Indiana, Illinois, Ohio, Kentucky, Florida. For actual visiting purposes. I have also changed planes or driven through Colorado, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Georgia, and any other states between Kentucky and Florida. I'm sorry, I don't remember and the closest thing to a map I have is the United States of Texas.

[strategery blunder]

4. 24

HI, CA, WA, UT, AZ, NM, TX, OK, MO, GA, FL, IL, IA, MI, OH, KY, MA, DC (but that doesn't count as a state:)), CO, AK, NV, NY, TN, VA, WI

Of those, I have lived in (in order) CA, GA, AZ, IL, MO.

Edit: I'm only 19, so does this count as well-traveled?:)

[Qanisqineq]

[Goathead]

8. Every state except

Alaska, Oklahoma, Vermont, New Hampshire, Maine

...and I have been to American Samoa

[ilovenicepeople]

9. Washington state and Hawaii

[kokomo]

10. Everywhere but the two Dakotas, Alaska, and Hawaii

Got to find a reason to go to the Dakotas. Alaska and Hawaii are easier on the eyes but in a Bush economy, can't afford the trips.

[truthseeker1]

14. Sturgis

If you've got a Harley - that's S Dakota, not sure what kind of excuse you can come up with for N Dakota!

[MinneapolisMatt]

11. I'm still waiting for someone to reply...

...zero. :)

[Awsi Dooger]

12. I think "All 50" should have been a seperate poll answer

I'm at 49, still missing Hawaii.

Don't really think that belongs with the 50ers, any more than the 16-1 or 18-1 NFL teams deserve the lore of the 17-0 Dolphins of '72.

[Champ]

39. I did too

But when I did think I should the edit option was no longer available.

Lived in Virginia, Pennsylvania, Ohio and Illinois.

Been to 15 countries...

[ze_dscherman]

19. None

I've never been to the U.S.! I was hoping to visit it within the next couple of years, always wanted to go. I just postponed it until the next election. Well, maybe I'll visit nevertheless.

But I've been to 24 other countries. Europe has lot's of them.

[tsakshaug]

20. 48

Alaska and HI are still on my list

[greendog]

21. 49

n/t

[Renew Deal]

24. Which one haven't you been to?

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

22. Three: Florida, Texas, Georgia. But let me explain.

It was for business. I had no choice as to where to go.

I've also been to the much nicer Puerto Rico.

[Renew Deal]

23. 25

[Spider Jerusalem]

25. Let's see...

Florida, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Arkansas, Louisiana, Missouri, Kansas, Oklahoma, Kentucky, Tennessee, Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Pennsylvania, New York, Massachusetts, Maine,
California, Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, and Nevada. So, 24. Most of this is passing through on the way to somewhere else, but since I was travelling by car I suppose it counts.

[kick-ass-bob]

26. 21 where I stayed for a day or more.

Not including driving through them.

If that is counted, 31.

[scarlet_owl]

Never been to Alaska or Hawaii.
The Professor

[Hand]

29. All 50...

It took a while, but I knocked off the really boring ones during an extended motorcycle trip in 1976. Oklahoma was the last. I guess visiting Hawaii before it was a state counts...

[Danmel]

37. 24 so far

I've been to:
Arizona, California, Colorado, COnnecticut, Delaware, Florida (though not since 2000- I'm boycotting - which is a big deal for a Jew from LI with half of my family snowbirding in Boca) , Indiana, Illinois (only if a lay over in O'Hare counts!), Louisiana, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, Pennslyvania, Rhode Isalnd, South Carolina , South Dakota, Texas, Utah, Virginia and Washington State. I've also been to Puerto Rico.

[CBHagman]

38. Thirty, plus the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico.

Most of the others are ones I traveled through or visited on vacation. I've actually lived in CA, CT, DC, MD, NJ, NY, OH and SC.

[tigerbeat]

40. all of the them except...

Alaska
Hawaii
Montana
Washington
Oregon

[Zing Zing Zingbah]

41. Does driving through a state or waiting in an airport

in a state count as having been there?

[eataTREE]

45. My opinion is that the former counts and the latter doesn't.

When you drive through a state -- you SEE that state. You get to gawk at the scenery. You interact with the locals at the gas station and the McDonalds. You get a reasonable taste of what that state is actually like. But all airports are basically alike.

[Zing Zing Zingbah]

46. Well then I can add

Pennsylvania, Maryland, West Virginia, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Georgia, which brings me up to 16.

Pennsylvania and Virginia I thought were the prettiest. I love the mountains. Speaking of McDonald's, the McDonald's that we stopped at in Pennsylvania was on top of a very large hill. It was so weird. You could most of the town from the McDonald's.

[Eugene]

42. 43 - Haven't been to the Northwest, Alaska, or Hawaii

[Zing Zing Zingbah]

44. States I've visited.

Of course I've driven through a lot of states on the way to one state, but I've not going to count those states. I'm only counting the states I've actually spent some time in.

1. Maine - Born there, grew up there, lived there for 23 years. It's my real home. I'll always be a Mainer no matter where I live.

2. New Hampshire - Visited several times because my dad grew up there. I love the White Mountains National Park.
3. Vermont - Visited a few times. This is a great state too. It's a lot like Maine. I love the lack of strip malls in this state.

4. New York - Only visited upstate New York, not New York city area, which is much different. We went across Lake Placid from Vermont on a ferry to get there. That was pretty neat.

5. Massachusetts - Been to Boston several times. We used to go to Boston on school trips a lot, like to the Science Museum or some thing. I visited several times while in college too, since a lot of my high school buddies went to school at a college in the Boston area.

6. Minnesota - Visited there a few times as a kid. The last time I was there I was 16. My mom grew up there, so I've got tons of family there. I always love visiting there. I love my mom's home town. It's a great community.

7. Wisconsin - Went there whenever I was visiting Minnesota. My mom's hometown was just across the Mississippi River from Wisconsin. It seemed pretty much like Minnesota to me.

8. Florida - Where I'm living now. I've almost been here for three years now, and this will be my last year here. I'm not too fond of this place.

9. Alabama - One state I never thought I'd visit. I spent labor day weekend there trying to avoid hurricane Frances. It wasn't too exciting, but it was sunny.
