Love the articles Chris! You’re an inspiration. I look forward to the rest of the harder to reach countries.

All domestic: Nevada, Calif., Utah, Idaho, Montana, Washington, Oregon. Not very impressive except for the great family members we visited. We take care of my wife’s’ 93 year old mother so harder to get away for now. Have to count on her brother and sister coming for a few weeks to watch her. Up until two years ago she traveled with us.

We still have memories of living in Beirut, Lebanon, Saudi Arabia and American Samoa. We had a better experience in Saudi Arabia than you did Chris. Say a lot of ancient history and good Arab friends. 50′s were a great time. I spent three days in Rome on my way home from High School.

I love to hear about your adventures.

In 2009, I managed to get to New Zealand twice. The south island is beautiful! It isn’t far from where I live in Australia, I guess,but I am looking forwarding to getting to Fiji again this coming year.

My husband and I spent 9 weeks beginning in Hong Kong, China, Tibet, Nepal, Laos, Thailand, Vietnam. We have visited 40 countries. BTW, we are both in our late 50′s and still working at the same jobs we have had for close to 40 years but would love to give it up and do what you are doing. We think it is never too late!

Here’s my list: Buenos Aires and Uruguay for a total of about 9 months away from my home in New York. Traveling, learning Spanish, partying, relaxing, building my online business… now back in New York, relaxing, talking about crazy stuff on my website.

Thanks for allowing me to share,
Dave

Made my first two international trips this year. Dream-come-true for me – since I was little, I wanted to travel like my mom did.

I spent two weeks in South Korea (Seoul) and four months in Europe (studying). I lived and travelled in Spain (Sevilla, Madrid, Barcelona, Granada, Carmona, Aracena, Valencia, Cordoba) while also making stops in Italy (Rome), France (Paris) and Portugal (Lagos).

Thanks for the inspiration this year!

My husband and I traveled overland from Lima to Buenos Aires (through Bolivia) over 3 months. Now we’re gearing up to move to Japan in about a month!

In 2009 I went to New Orleans, Louisiana and Dayton, Ohio. I *highly* recommend the Dayton International Airport. I don’t have the opportunity to travel a lot but I have been to several airports both domestic and abroad and DIA is the best. IMHO they should win some type of award! Near the baggage claim area they have food kiosks so while you are waiting for your ride to arrive you can get something to eat.

Last March, I touched down in Asia for my first time. I flew to Hong Kong and stayed over at a friend’s place for the 8 or 9 days that I was in Asia. I visited Shenzhen, China, for a day as well as Macau. For the rest of the time, I was in Hong Kong. I visited the Lantau Island, Aberdeen, Stanley, Sai Kung, as well the central areas of Kowloon and Hong Kong Island.

Last May/June, I visited the final province of Canada that I have not visited: Newfoundland. I went there for a 2 or 3-day conference and had two days to visit around the old town of St. John’s and parts of the Avalon peninsula.

Last July and August, I did a bunch of local trips in southern Ontario: a weekend in Stratford, a cave call Hell Holes, another cave call Warsaw Caves, and two beaches near my home.
