Have you seen america?

DGW · 02-13-2002, 07:26 PM

I've traveled a few places out side the country..England, France and Bonaire...yet I've only been to a handful of states in the US. Besides the adjoining states like NY, NJ, Penn, Conn, Del, and Maryland what part of this great US have you seen? Do you plan on seeing more? Are you more inclined to travel in the US rather then outside do to recent incidents?

As most I've been to Florida to see Mickey, but outside the local areas I've only been to South Carolina for my folks house.

I plan on going to Vegas this year and seeing the Grand Canyon and the surrounding areas while I'm out there.

I haven't traveled outside the country because oppurtunity hasn't sufaced, but I wouldn't think twice about flying outside the US.

I've been up and down the east coast and to parts of the midwest, but I'm dying to see the west coast as well as the south west.

Went to Disney in early Jan as well.

I've been to:

New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Maine, Mass. (can't spell it), Vermont, Maryland, D.C., Virginia, West Virginia, North and South Carolina, Alabama, Georgia, Florida, Tennessee, Kentucky, and Ohio.

Edit: The only time I've left the country is going to Canada.

I been to.... NY & NJ that's about it.

I haven't been outside the US (Canada and the Bahamas don't really count), but I have yet to find anyone who's seen as much of the US as I have.

From when I was 6 until I was 10, my entire family (6 total)used to take six weeks off every summer (dad was a teacher mom was a private nurse) and travel around the country in a station wagon and trailor (yep those people do exist)

So I've been to every major national park and tourist attraction, well over 40 of the states, and pretty much seen everything there is to see in this country. Grand Canyon is awesome, but Yosemite in CA is the best of all the national parks (Yellowstone is #3). The only things I haven't seen are Hawaii and Alaska, which are definately on my list.

As an adult, I've been to LA, NY, SF, Vegas, Miami, Lauderdale, and New Orleans a bunch of times as well.

I love travelling, and since I currently don't have someone to travel with, I've not done it as much. I would love to travel internationally (no worries now), but things always fall through. I was supposed to go on a safari in Africa for being the #1 rep in my company, but then the company cried "poor" and gave me nothing. I was supposed to go to Dominican Republic, but after 9/11 the people I was to go with changed their mind. I was supposed to go to Brazil for Carnival this year, but the people I was supposed to go with decided they couldn't afford it so they just went to see the Pats in the Superbowl instead.

A few years ago, I decided that I would spend New Year's eve in a different city every year for the rest of my life.

So far, I've got LA, NY, San Fran, Boston, and next year will probably be Chicago since I might be going to grad school out there.
