I have to drive to and from New York again some time this year, and the sooner, the better. In the process, I got to thinking of which other states I haven't been through/to yet, and figured there had to be an easy tool to track this. Sure enough, I found this site.

Visitedplaces.com - US Map edition.

I changed planes in Illinois once, and I'm reasonably sure we drove through it when I was a kid, but I'm not positive, so I didn't count it. Same for Missouri. Anyway, there's some large gaps I need to fill in that could be done with just a few road trips. I could probably check off Kansas, Missouri, Illinois and possibly Michigan on the way up, and the Virginias, Carolinas, Mississippi and Louisiana on the way back and be down to mopping up the rest. I'm sure some of you have done all fifty, but I was surprised to see I've done nearly half so far.



Where all have you gone in these great united states?

Missing the Top of Noo England and the Upper plains states. Can't remember being in Iowa but then again, it's Iowa so....

Alaska is my last state to visit.

For me, I've been to 44 states, missing Wisconsin, Alabama, Mississippi, New Hampshire, Vermont and Maine, at least that I know of. It's possible, even probable, I was in NH and Vermont when I was a kid, along with Wisconsin. But I won't count them since I don't remember them (even though I am counting Louisiana, which I don't remember BUT is the state I was born in).

But I also have been in Puerto Rico and the US VI, but not AM Samoa or Guam. So I still have some bucket stuff to do.

Now let's do countries!
I got 52 of them.

Same, +39 countries.

Maybe I missed the joke. 52 of what? Countries?

Nebraska and Iowa this summer.

I was stuck at 43 for about 9 years until a friend got married on the Vermont/New Hampshire border so I visited both.

I've been to Florida many times via airplane so my flyover states are a little bit different. Technically, I've been in Atlanta Hartsfield Airport but I don't count that as visiting a state.

I spent about 12 years traveling for work. I've spent atleast 72 hours (usually a lot more) in every state except Alaska and Hawaii (I haver been to those 2 states). Also, mostly from the military, I have been to Puerto Rico and about a dozen countries.

I'm done traveling for a while.

The ones that I have not been too:
Alaska, Arkansas, Delaware, District of Columbia, Hawaii, Maine, New Jersey, North Dakota
Rhode Island, Vermont

All but: NH/VT/ME/AK/HI

Should be hitting the northeast 3 this summer.
