I've been to 37 of the connected 48. Haven't been to Alaska or Hawaii.
This is a beautiful country.

We did a lot of traveling before we retired. Have been to 36 states including Alaska and Hawaii, but not the northwest and north central states. We just can't seem to get it together to travel much any more. The kids laugh at us because several times we left home packed to stay for a couple of weeks and we were home in four days! They laugh now when we say we are going on a trip. So we have seen a lot of this great country but I know there is a lot more I want to see. Then again I love being at home now too.

As it is I take handwork mostly.

Traveling around in an RV is a dream I have. I'm sure you have met many people and have some interesting experiences you could share. I've traveled some in the US - born, raised and still live in the midwest but have been to both coasts and northern states. Still many states I'd love to see. Fun thread to read!

Been to all 50 except Alaska and Hawaii. I'd really like to go to both once finances improve. I also want to go to Liverpool, England (FIL is from there and DH has been but not me) and I really, really want to go to the highlands of Scotland.

I have been in Wisconsin, Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Washington, DC. Atlantic City, NJ., Intercourse, Pa (great quilt shops), Michigan, Las Vegas, San Francisco, LA, Naples, Fla. Oh, yah, South Dakota.

I would like to get out East - New York to Ellis Island where my grandfather first set foot on the US from Sweden. I have dipped my toes in the Pacific Ocean and the Atlantic Ocean and the Gulf. Click - Click - There's no place like Home - There's no place like Home. Edie
