Welcome to the TravelPod forums

Below I've listed the United States (& a couple of US territories too) in alphabetical order. In my lifetime, I would like to have visited every state. I still have a ways to go. I was watching Jonathan Ross the other night and one of his British guests had been to every state. How many states have you been to? Who's been to the most states out there?

I put an 'X' next to the ones I've been to:

•Alabama
•Alaska
•American Samoa
•Arizona X
•Arkansas
•California X
•Colorado X
•Connecticut X
•Delaware
•District of Columbia X
•Florida X
•Georgia X
•Guam

•Nebraska
•Nevada X
•New Hampshire
•New Jersey

•North Carolina X

No bad, considering that we have lived here for only 27 years. 40 states. Whoee! Got to do the rest before I die! Somehow or other I don't think I'll make Guam, Samoa or the Northern Marianas.

I got alot left to go to, unfortunately there isn't much motivation for me to see the rest. Of course places like Hawaii or Nevada will be seen eventually, but Nebraska? Probably never.

[sarah820w]

Virginia
Texas
N.J
N.Y
Oklahoma

More than I first thought!

Northern Marianas Islands

You know, I don't even know where these islands are...let me look these up...

According to Wiki:

The Northern Mariana Islands /ˈnɔrðərn mɛəriˈænə ˈaɪləndz/ (help·info), officially the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI), is a commonwealth in political union with the United States, occupying a strategic region of the western Pacific Ocean. It consists of fifteen islands about three-quarters of the way from Hawaii to the Philippines, at 15°1′2″N 145°4′5″E / 15.01722°N 145.06806°E / 15.01722; 145.06806. The United States Census Bureau reports the total land area of all islands as 179.01 square miles (463.63 km²).

Who knew?

[kilgiraffe]

My list is so pitiful..

* District of Columbia
* Florida
* New York
* Puerto Rico
* U.S. Virgin Islands
* Virginia

Was supposed to be adding 4-6 more on my last trip but that didint happen Next time!

[kur4m4]

what about mine...:

*California
*Colorado

[kilgiraffe]

Well if you're in Europe that's understandable.. However I spent the last 10 years in honourary North America [the Caribbean] so it's pitiful to me All the more reason to travel and fill it up though

[kitkatgo]

what about mine...:

*California
*Colorado

Hey, it's a start!

[richard4890]

I am glad to see mine was not the worst, but still really pitiful, most of those states I probably stopped on the side of the road to eat passing through

Which ones have you been to though?

And you must have been on a road trip, which means you got to see the states you were traveling through!
