Have NOT visited Alaska, Hawaii, South and North Dakota. Lived outside the USA for three years in Germany - loved it!!

Wow! Some of you have been to almost all 50 states! I wish l could say the same for myself-- (don't like to fly, lol). I've been to every state along I-95, from Maine to Florida, and also Vermont. That adds up to 16, plus the District of Columbia. That pales by comparison to many of you!

If I had only a few states left to visit, l would put that on my bucket list!

48--except for Hawaii and Indiana.  Go figure!  Why I didn't make an effort to stay in Indiana when I was in surrounding states, I just don't know.  I measure it by--do I spend the night in the state--not just driving through.  About 4 years ago, I was in Michigan, Illinois, Ohio.  I could have gone to Indiana--I just wasn't thinking. 

My son tells me I've been into Indiana.  Years ago, we crossed the river and went to the Louisville Bat Factory when it was in Indiana.  I understand they've moved it.

I'd love to go to Germany again, especially now that I know which cities my various ancestors are from. Ironically I was within about 30 miles of one of the towns when I was there before and didn't know it.
