Ive only left Texas twice. Once to Florida when I was a kid. And I went to Louisiana last year to CineShow. Was anybody there by the way? Also, is anyone going this year?

There is absolutely no need to go to Mexico. Mexico is coming to us!

Canada is the only foreign country I've visited.

I can't spell Massachusetts without looking it up, either! [Smile]

Probably best to avoid some of the more obscure parts of Scotland and Wales: get the spellings of those places wrong and you're likely to be skinned alive by the local nationalists...

I travelled with my dad for two years instead of going to the 4th and 5th grade (which I later finished in a German school), surprisingly I still remember many details of these countries:

Germany
Switzerland
Austria
Luxemburg
Liechtenstein
Poland
France
Italy
Greece
England
Vancouver BC
Mexico
Western U.S. coast
Eastern U.S. coast

I was born in Germany and have always been fluent in the language, going every summer to brush up on it helps too though!
I think it's great to see so many international members on the forums!

Wow, good job! Lots of people here on work visas and student visas that wouldn't know that.

I've missed Alaska, Hawaii, Montana, Washington, North Dakota, and Arkansas, so I've been to 44 states. (Plus D.C. Can't forget D.C.)

I've visited Canada (no idea which provinces), Ireland, England, Scotland, France, Belgium, West Germany (back when there was such a thing), Germany, The Netherlands, Luxemborg, Switzerland, Spain, and the Czech Republic.

I have a passport, but it's expired. No point in renewing it until I have plans to travel again.

I would keep my passport up to date for two reasons.

First: The James Bond factor.
Second: You never know when you may have to run away from your politicians.

States I've taken my cloths off in. I don't even count the ones I pass through anymore.

Alaska
Arizona
California Currently live
Colorado Grew Up
Florida
Georgia
Illinois
Indiana
Kentucky
Louisiana
Maine
Massachusetts summers
Michigan
Montana
Nevada
New Jersey Although I'm not sure the Newark Day's Inn counts.
New Mexico
New York Born
Ohio
Pennsylvania One New Years kiss from a fat girl who smoked, when I was 17.
South Carolina
Texas
Utah
Vermont Lived one year
Washington
Wyoming

Countries:

Mexico An entire summer
Canada Lunch only, doesn't pass the disrobing rule
United Kingdom Three times
France three times, once by bicycle
Italy By bicycle
Tunisia Arrived by bicycle
Bolivia
Peru
Holland

This countries list looks pathetically small. I must do my best to expand it.
