I have been fortunate and have been to quite a few states. I love to travel - wish I had the money to do more. I have not been to the New England states and very little in the south east or the south central. Looking forward to seeing more of this great country!

I've been to all states except Hawaii. We have a small RV and over the years have traveled quite a lot. My hubby loves to drive everywhere. And he is more than willing to find me quilt shops and I have walked thru many motorcycle shops with him! It works except I wish we had a bigger RV so I could take more sewing. As it is I take handwork mostly.

I have been to the 48, several times to each., Used to travel quite a bit on blue highways.

I've been to PA, NJ, NY, NC, KY, extensively. I've also spent bits of time in OH, Arizona, SC, CT, Colorado, Virginia, MD. That doesn't count any states I've just driven through.

I haven't traveled much here or abroad, but have more of a desire to see USA than other places because it's so big, and there's so much diversity of places here. I prefer to visit and explore more "regular" towns as opposed to tourist destinations.

We travel on our Goldwing motorcycle each summer. We have been in all but 8 of the lower 48 and have looped around the Great Lakes into Canada on it.

I had somebody tell me that it didn't count for being in a state if you hadn't spent the night there - like if you just drove through it 'didn't count'...
With that said, my list is:
Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Virginia, West Virginia, Wash. DC, Maryland, New York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Ohio, Michigan, Indiana, Kentucky, Tennessee, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas, Arkansas, Missouri, Kansas, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Illinois... and Oklahoma - LOL - we stopped the car and walked around just so we could say we'd been there ....
