I'm not exactly a globe trotter by any means, but I've been around the US a bit. Although, there are some stops I would love to make someday.

The covered bases.

I've been all over the Mid-Atlantic and deep South. Atlanta, Columbia, Charleston, Macon, everywhere in FL. All the east coast beaches.

Was born in Kansas and did the whole mid-west thing as a kid, Indiana, Illinois went up north to Minnesota (Duluth). Did Michigan. Lived in Ohio for a spell. Did the Dakotas and Montana.
In my early 20's moved to New Orleans and tooled around Texas a bit, then moved to Phoenix and then out to LA for a while. I've been to Utah, Colorado.
Grew up in VA (metro DC) and we used to have a Summer cabin on Lake Champlaine in Vermont. I've done NYC, upper state, all over PA, NJ, WV, Tenn.

The uncovered bases.

I have never been to San Fransisco and that bothers me. Same with Seattle. Never went north of LA when I was in California.
I've never been to Boston either, but I've been around the north east.

I guess the number one place that I want to visit but have not yet visited would be New Orleans.

I've been to Boston, Maine, NYC, DC, Midwest, California (SF, LA, SD), Seattle, Yellowstone/Montana, Minn, Phoenix, Texas, Fla, Denver, Aspen, Lake Powell, UT, Vegas, Maui, Hawaii, Oahu and others I'm not thinking of right now.

I also would like to get to Portland, OR someday. (Maybe for the race in a few years.)

In Canada, I am dying to get to Banff/Lake Louise. And would like to get to the Maritime provinces sometime. I've been to Vancouver, Western Ontario, Toronto, Ottawa, Montreal and Quebec City. (Loved every one of those places)

Me too.

I've been to, starting from the West, LA (too many times), SF, Phoenix, Salt Lake City (beautiful), Dallas, Houston, and a lot more of Texas, Denver and surrounding mountains, parts of southern Missouri, Chicago, Atlanta, a few places in Florida, NYC, Boston, and a whold bunch of other places I've forgotten. I'm not including states I've driven through, but they don't really count.

In Canada, I've spent time in Montreal (go visit the "old city", very cool), and Vancouver (very beautiful too), but niether for a race, darn it. And spent a few days in Ottawa too.

Another place in the US that I want to see is the Grand Canyon.

Hawaii and Alaska. I love the CA coast though. And San Francisco is a must see! I prefer Big Sur out there but SF is cool. I have done the San Diego all along that way but I am telling yah... Laguna.. Monterey Big Sur is out of this world. Plus there is a race there every year :)

Vermont, New Hampshire and Maine in the Fall. The Northwest. Fishing off the coast of Alaska and Canada's left coast. I'd also like to spend some time exploring the uperland of Michigan. :cool:

Toss in another vote for Alaske. The snowmobiling has got to be orgasmic at certain times of the year up there...

The Pacific Northwest, Montana and Colorado are 3 places I really wanna visit.

What I really want to do is move my @ss out West. I grew up in Indiana, and have lived the last 25 years or so in Maine and Western New York. I'm sick of the East Coast. I'm sick of the sh^tty weather, I'm sick of 6 month long winters, of summers that seem to last no more than a couple of weeks. GET ME THE #@*^ OUTTA HERE.!!!!!!!:mad: :mad:

Anywhere. I've never been...

Well, perhaps there are some areas I'd choose not to visit.

I'd suggest you don't visit Detroit.

Ugliest city I have ever been in (although Gary, which I have only been through on the highway impresses me as the armpit of America).

My parents took us on great road trip vacations when I was a kid. Let me just say that any parent who takes 4 kids across country once is a saint. Doing it twice is just insane. I've been through most of the US, but I've never been to Hawaii, Alaska or the Pacific Northwest, and I've never been to New England.

Before I'm old and grey (okay... before I'm grey) I'd like to be able to say that I've visited all 50 states.

I'd just like to say that I'm amazed that nobody has answered this: [insert name of extremely attractive person here]'s bedroom.
