How many U.S. states and/or Canadian provinces have you been to?
« on: April 25, 2014, 11:16:22 PM »
Let's see how well traveled we are.  For me, I've been to eight U.S. States:
Michigan- where I was born in 1984 and currently live
Illinois- flew in O'Hare Airport in 2004.
California- where I made my trek to the Bob Barker studio in 2004.
Florida- traveled in 2008
Indiana- traveled in 2010
Wisconsin-first traveled in 2011
Minnesota -traveled in 2012
Ohio-traveled in 2013

I've also been to Ontario in Canada many times.

Connecticut - My home state
Rhode Island
Massachusetts
Vermont
New Hampshire
Maine
New York
Pennsylvania
New Jersey
Delaware
Maryland
West Virginia
Virginia
Georgia
California

15.

Think that's it, might be forgetting one. I have *been* to each of those, technically. It still counts if some of them I just passed through to get to another one. :)

But no, I wouldn't consider myself well-traveled...at all. Then again, I'm still young and plan on doing a ton of travelling in the future.

There is a fifth dimension beyond that which is known to man. It is a dimension as vast as space and as timeless as infinity. It is the middle ground between light and shadow, between science and superstition, and it lies between the pit of man's fears and the summit of his knowledge. This is the dimension of imagination. It is an area which we call the Twilight Zone.

I can not only name every state that I've been in, I can name every county and parish that I've been in.  I've been to 29 states plus Washington, D.C.  This summer, though, I will add a 30th state.  I'm taking my kids and my cousin up to the Mall of America in Minnesota.



There are too many counties and parishes to name here, but I can tell you that I've been in 679 out of 3,142.  I've been to every county in Kentucky and Ohio, and I've been to at least half of the counties in Indiana, Maryland, and Tennessee.

Well, this week was supposed to be a return to normalcy, but that's clearly not allowed.  Since you feel there is no need for this week's FPG to continue, I feel there is no need to continue as an FPG host or a G-R.net member.  Since most people are so desperate to push me out of here, why delay it?  I would have preferred that everybody publicly admitted it rather than string me along for the last two days, but it is what it is.  I am hereby resigning as FPG host and moderator, effective immediately.  whammy007 is the new permanent host.  No R-rated rant or airing of grievances from me.  Just a polite "goodbye for good".

This summer, I plan on adding...Washington,...

Washington is a beautiful place. I do want to advise that there is another part to Washington other than Seattle! I live in the dry eastern half of the state, and it is as beautiful as the wet western half. Our half has some of the highest-yielding lentil regions, and hundreds of wineries to explore.
