Russia, (Moscow, Leningrad), Finland, England, China, Maccau, Mexico, Puerto Rico, Japan, Canada (all except Alberta)

All the states except New Mexico, Nebraska, and Iowa.  Hope to do them this year.  Of all the places I've been, the western US is my favorite.  Wide open, room to breathe. 

BUT, NC is home, and the best place that I've ever lived.

Been to Disney ;D

Was that in Orlando or DC?  ;D

Well one "interesting" place was Newark. Everything you've heard is true.  :)

Then there is Intercourse, PA. but I didn't see anything "interesting" there.  ::)

And I once tried to drive across midtown Manhattan during rush hour one hot summer afternoon. That was real interesting.  :o

And I once walked into a bar in San Francisco till a friend tugged on the back of my shirt and said he did not see anything he was "interested" in there. But other than that, San Francisco is a fantastic town.

And everyone should go thru the Gettysburg National park and walk or drive thru that piece of history. The stillness, birds singing and erie feeling I got when I was there was more than interesting.

Then there is the Mesabi Iron Range in northern MN where you can look down in those huge open pits and see those 240 ton ore carriers with 18 foot tall tires that look like ants crawling around down there.

Oh, so many interesting places. But I'd better leave room for Tom.

Never take life seriously. Nobody gets out alive anyway.

I've been in all States east of the Mississippi, except for Vermont.  We were having engine trouble in the Minnie Winnie on the New England trip, and had to stick to the coastline to avoid the hills. :-\  Also been to Tx, NM, Nv, Ok, Az, Ar, Ut, Or, Wa, and Ak.  My forays outside the US include Vietnam, Japan, Australia and Haiti.  A few of these were just stopovers, but I managed to spend a little time in most of them, finding things of interest everywhere.  I suppose the most "interesting" of them all was Vietnam.  Oh yeah, I forgot to mention Cambodia.  I spent so long being prohibited from mentioning that, I forgot it's ok to talk about now. :D

Swim call off a nuclear sub...early 80s.  Bermuda Triangle, 3000 feet of water, guy on the con with a gun watching for sharks; another guy on deck with fins and mask ready to keep anyone who was floundering from floating adjacent to the reactor (they design those thing to protect folks that are on the inside on the submarine).

Got to all the states east of Mississippi and purty near all of 'em west of Mississippi plus stepped into Canada and Mexico even saw a tiny piece across the pond - but ran outa money.

Most trips were "road trips" the best being back in the early 70's - me and a friend took $120 apiece and spent about 5 weeks driving thru NE to Canada and back on country roads - no tent - just used a big piece a plastic stuck inside the car door out to stakes/picnic tables and preferred roadside rests ( free and not too many people cared back then ) - good fun when it wasn't raining  . . .
