   That's impressive @ChemEngrMBA
   I saw America through Wal~Mart warehouses @ 50, at the time, a scattered chasm of small town America.
   I was blessed.

I attempted to quickly go through your list and weed out those places I have not been to while adding others I had been to but apparently failed.

Perhaps I'll try another approach later. @ChemEngrMBA

We've done this before here but I'm not inclined to dig back through 46,804 posts to find it.

This list is biased against anyone who might have spent several years drinking.

After all,how can you know where you have been,when you don't even know where,or even who,you are?

Not ME,of course,but other people.

Well, "Lord of All Things," since you think this is so "stupid," why don't you start a Brilliant Thread from Lord of All Things and "wow" the world.  We will hold our breaths.

Secondly, nowhere did I say this was a comprehensive list of everywhere I have been.  Your reading comprehension leaves a great deal to be desired, as does your kindness and tolerance level.

I suspect you are merely jealous of my extensive travels and cannot afford to do much yourself.

Now proceed with your Post of all Posts.  It will be awesome as you always are, Sour Grapes.

Once I got here, Here is where I been. Within a couple hundred miles of this spot right here.  Traveled some for the rodeo. A little more Cowboyin'... A couple vacays and business trips. But all in all, I have no need to roam... At least no need other than roaming right here... All my braggin about where I been is mostly within a hundred miles. And I will brag on that.

Haven't been to a lot of places, but I've never put much stock in being touristy. Not that I don't like to travel, but where I've lived and what I did there is alot more important to me.

People will say something like 'I've been to Paris'. Yeah, on a 4 hour layover and never left the airport. I like to ground and immerse myself in the situation and spend some time there doing the local stuff, not just hitting the traps. Way more fulfilling.

    Cosmically, I have been to the Heights of Heaven and to the Depths of Hell and more importantly, I took the scenic route.  It has made me a better person, overall, but I also could be wrong.

I've had the good fortune to have lived and worked in many places on this globe but regardless of where I happened to be at any given time, that was indeed the pattern @berdie .

The thread did not post itself.  Stop trying to defend indefensible acts.
Attacking an idea embodied in a post is an attack on the person, i.e. "stupid."

You've gotten a lot of good replies on this thread, and some detractors.  It's Par for the TBR course.

Never take things personally is my adage, which I sometimes honor in the breach!

How about a thread on all the places to go on your bucket list?

Go Fish!

I never had a bucket list, but can't think of many places I would want to go but have not toured.

My goal at one time my was to go to Bali @Gefn . But since I won't fly any more, I don't see myself paddling there. happy77

There are so many places in the US that I would love to see.

I briefly considered having a bucket list, but then decided it wasn't worth the effort. At this point, I've been where I need to have been. If I get to visit a few more places, that'll be nice. If I get to the few places I'd like to visit this year, I'll be happy. There's nothing like skydiving, whitewater rafting or swimming with dolphins on the list, so I'm good.

At this point I can think of no place on this planet that I would be willing to get on a plane to visit so I will only be traveling to places I can drive to.

I may never again board an airplane, much as I love visiting where my ancestors came from, e.g., England, Germany, Wales. I'm somewhat resigned to that. The federal government has made travel a very unpleasant experience.

As long as we still can purchase gasoline (!!!), we'll travel within driving distance.
