I counted Texas due to a connecting flight in Dallas. I had enough time to walk a round out side and buy a souvenir spoon at the gift shop. :P

States in the US:

Arizona
Nevada
New York
Minnesota
Illinois (O'Hare airport transfer only)

Provinces in Canada:

Quebec (home province)
Ontario (birth province)
Alberta (lived in the bush for three months)
B.C. (walked on a glacier - watch out for cracks!)

I'll also be visiting the European continent in a year or two. Already, my knowledge of French and English will make it possible for me to visit countries such as the U.K., France, Belgium and Switzerland without too many linguistic problems aside from adapting to the local dialect.

Other countries under consideration:

Germany (mainly to drive the Nordschleife at the Nürburgring, and to ride the Schwebebahn at Wuppertal)
China
Japan
Australia
New Zealand (NOT because of The Lord of The Rings movie trilogy!)

That's it for now.

> I would count driving across a state...if the state is big enough to make it an investment of your time.

Size shouldn't matter. If you've driven through a state, you've been in that state, whether it took 100 yards or 500 miles.

If you jump in a swimming pool and immediately get out, you have been in the pool.

I've been in 46, all but OR, ID, ND, MT.

Chris, please notice I'm asking if you visited the state, not whether you have been physically present therein. Cutting across from MA to ME, for example, you really didn't "visit" NH. You just drove 18 miles on the freeway. Whereas driving across NV you really have experienced what NV is all about.

Man, I haven't been anywhere, only a handful of states, oh and Tijuana too, but I have been in every nook and cranny of California (kinda proud of it actually), all the major spots and everywhere else from Glamis to Bodie, Ridgecrest to Mendocino, Catalina to Redding.
Sorry, didnt want to hijack the thread.
When I retire, I want to get a motor home and just drive all over the US and go to major and minor league baseball games all over the place. that would be fun to plan out.

Ironic. I was trying to figure this out a few days ago. The fact is, the way I traveled there for a few years, I'm not entirely sure of all the states I've been to.

I have been to them all except probably...

Maine
Delaware
Maryland
North Carolina
South Carolina
Mississippi
Michigan

Like I say, I might have actually been to some of those. There was a time I had the habit of waking up and looking at the stuff on the table in my hotel room to remember where the hell I was that day. It never occurred to me to write it down before I went to sleep.

I've lived in Colorado, New York, Texas, Washington, and Connecticut.
