Looking at the election maps got me thinking about how little of America many of us over here have seen/experienced first hand. My list as follows,
New York
Washington
Delaware
Maryland
Tennesee
Georgia
California
Montana
Nevada
Minnesota
Illinois
Florida
Texas
Massachusetts
(Does DC count?)
New York
California
Illinois
Oregon
Washington
Hawaii
Yes, DC counts. Technically I’ve been to Utah and Minnesota, but 7 or 8 hours in SLC and MSP aiports staring longinly at the surroundings doesn’t really count.
Florida (for the rides), and I visited NY, Boston, San Fran and Washington (city) on a long holiday, before we swapped disposable income for children.
I assume that that’s 5 states.
I’d love to see more, in case anyone’s interested in sponsoring me. I was talking to a lady over lunch last week who took her children out of school for a year and travelled across the US. The went to each state except for Idaho and Hawaii in a big campervan. It made me very jealous.
California
Texas
Louisiana
North Carolina
New Jersey
Massachusetts
But they all look alike. They look like the inside of a taxi, or the inside of a hotel, or the inside of an office, or the realization of a life wasted.
New York
Maine
Vermont
New Hampshire
Pennsylvania
Maryland
Ohio
Georgia
Florida
Alabama
Kentucky
Illinois
Texas
Iowa
Minnesota
North Dakota
South Dakota
Nebraska
New Mexico
Arizona
California
Utah
Wyoming
Idaho
Montana
Oregon
Michigan
DC
28
I’ve spent a lot of time with family in Wisconsin though which makes a huge difference compared to just visiting.
Might have a go for my own curiosity. Several road trips bump up my numbers to a reasonable 20. Seems to have missed the bit in the middle (like many I expect). Would like to visit Seattle.
California
