Hmm. I've been in and through every state in the continental USA other than Alaska, along with Hawaii and (it should be a state) Puerto Rico. Stayed at least overnight in most of them. Out of the USA travel by country, in alphabetical order… Australia Austria Belgium Canada Denmark France Germany Grand Bahama Great Britain Greenland Guatemala Honduras Hong Kong Ireland Isle of Man Italy Japan Mexico San Martin Scotland Singapore Spain Sweden Switzerland The Netherlands Wales …as best I remember. Places I haven't been that I want to visit: New Zealand, Sicily, Alaska, the Seychelles, Iceland, Viet Nam, Norway, Denmark (although technically Greenland is a property of Denmark), India, Egypt, Israel, Tenerife/Canary Islands, Portugal, Cuba, Panama, Fiji … and maybe a few others. Some more than others too, of course. And I thought when I was 15 that by this time we'd at least be able to go to the Moon on holiday. Somewhere in my junk, I still have the ticket included in the bundle that came with the premium tickets to the New York City Cinerama Theater of "2001: A Space Odyssey"—a pre-order for a flight to the Moon in 2001.
