    Now that sounds gooooood!

    Hubs and I plan on taking the Harley and heading cross country this summer. We have from the 3rd week in June until the middle of August. We have a little camper we tow behind the bike, so we are pretty self-contained. We'll start in Maine on the Canadian border and plan to make it to California. Wish us luck

    Been to most states, except to the deep South. The humidity is too much for me.

    It is not possible to see all of anywhere, but I have travelled pretty extensively in Ireland, the UK, France, Germany, Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg, Austria, Switzerland, Spain, Portugal, Italy, Denmark, Cyprus, Israel, Egypt, South Africa and Lesotho, Singapore, Sri Lanka, China and Hong Kong, Thailand, Japan, Australia and New Zealand. In the US I have been to NY, MA, CT, IL, CA and HI. Have also driven across a good bit of Canada. I have a long list of other places I want to go.

    There is a lot to see in the world, and the more cultures you see the more you understand what is means to be human.

    I've been to 47 out of 50 states. I'm missing Alaska, Oregon and Louisiana.

    I've been fortunate enough to travel a lot in Europe too (helps that my DH is English) I'm also a Spanish teacher, so I've been to 12/21 Spanish speaking countries.

    I too married a career Navy man and moved a lot. There is nothing like having a place to call home. He passed away almost 8 years ago just 2 months after I retired. Wish I still had the companionship to travel even short distances.

    I've been to Hawaii, Washington, Calif, Idaho, Nevada, Montana, Wyoming, Arizona, New Mexico, Western Canada, and a little of Mexico.

    Loved to travel when my Hubby was still able to drive, hate to drive long distances myself.
