I'm feeling like quite a wanker after reading all y'all's posts. But except for the US and Canada the attached is an attempt to capture where I've actually traveled in Europe.... airports don't count, do they?

I have not found any BAD countries, but have encountered a few unfriendly people in the Bahamas. I should have just sent the money and stayed home. Although, scootering into the neighborhoods was fun.

Here's my list:

Mexico
British Virgin Islands
England
Panama
Chile
Italy
France
Germany
Switzerland
Austria
Jamaica
Canada
Belgium
Luxembourg
USA
The Bahamas

And very soon ... Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary

I've been privileged to visit more than 80 countries and all 50 states. We have lived in the Philippines, Kenya and Germany. Favorites include Brazil, Malaysia, India, the Philippines, Italy, Kenya, the Netherlands, the Seychelles, Belize, and, of course, Australia.

Like Jess, I feel blessed to be so well traveled and am reluctant to nominate any "worsts". That said, I won't be looking for a summer home in the Sudan, Somalia or Djibouti.

I haven't traveled much outside the US, but I have probably seen more of the US than most Americans.

I have crossed the country by train and by car. I prefer Amtrak over flying.

Some favorites:
Alaska (by boat)
Portland
California coast (especially Mendocino and Big Sur)
New York City
Cooperstown, NY (and not just for the baseball stuff)
National Parks (too many to mention here)
New England, particularly Boston (Fenway Park!!) and Providence
Las Vegas
Palm Springs

Most exotic locations visited:
Club 33, the secret private club at Disneyland
The basement at the Baseball Hall of Fame -- they must own just about EVERYTHING having to do with the sport, no matter how obscure. (PM me if you are a baseball geek and want to know more!)

After reading the thread Subject, I was thinking ... "well, I've been on vacation, anyone miss me???" Razz emoticon

But it just turns out I made it back just as this thread was being exhausted. Anyone really want to know where I've been??

Ok here goes. USA, England, Wales, Scotland, Mexico, Germany, France, BENELUX, Poland, Czech Republic, Austria, Switzerland, Italy, and S. Korea.

Yeah I reckon I got em all. Reason for travel: USAF Life (aim high, oo-rah)

I missed you guys too. BTW. I'm so jealous of all you people who got new GTSs (italianscoot) and those of you who live so near each other to go on bitchin rides.

Hopefully I'll be going to my first rally coming up soon in So. Az.
