Lists! What countries (or states?) have you visited guys?
This is obviously because I'm still high from America on some level. Been around a fair few places, mostly with the family though. Odd since first time went abroad PROPERLY (Florida, Disney) was when I was 10, before that it was all Ireland/UK.
In the UK/British Isles:
Northern Ireland (Duh!) England Scotland Republic of Ireland Isle of Wight Isle of Mann Rathlin Island Jersey/Gurnsey (Channel Islands) Random day trips to one or two of the two billion islands Scotland seems to have
Mainland Europe
France Belgium Italy Iceland
Americas
Canada Honduras USA: California, Arizona, Nevada (all three on trip just passed!) and Florida (but doubt that counts we never left Disney in the last one)
Africa South Africa Zambia (same trip as S.Africa)
Australasia Singapore (on way to NZ a while back) New Zealand --
I want to see more of the US and Asia though for sure.
Natural wonders of the world: 2 (Victoria Falls and Grand Canyon) Manmade wonders of the world: 0 --
So where have you guys been?

You're so lucky to have the chance to travel so much! The only time I've been out of the US was for a vacation to Niagara Falls.

Let's see... the only state I've been to is Nevada, mostly for Vegas, but it's my most hated place in the world. We celebrated New Years' over there and everywhere I go, there's smoke-filled air... and drunk people. But when I was six, I HAVE been to El salvador and it's BEAUTIFUL there. My dad's side of the family is Salvadorian, so we went there to visit his parents. Now, only my grandpa lives there, since my grandma passed away about two years ago. But I really hope to return there someday... I've also been to Mexico a couple mess of times, but Tijuana... oh, man. Best tacos there ever were. So... yeah. ;D

Alas, both countries I've ever been to outside of the US were still in North America. XD I've been to quite a few states, though, especially due to a cross-country road trip my parents, my uncle, and I took a few years ago.

My parents are also planning for us to go to Disney World next summer for my sixteenth. ;D We want to reserve it a year early, though and we're still waiting for a chance to do it.
