visit all 50 states

Still need to hit:

Alabama
Mississippi
Arkansas
Vermont
Maine
Oregon
Hawai’i (the big finish!)

Heading to Alabama and Mississippi for some exploring in February! YAY!

I’m going to see the Carolinas when my wife and I visit her brother upon his return from Iraq. Fort Bragg is our destination I think.

With those 2 down, I’ll have Vermont, Maine, Oregon, Arkansas, Alabama, Mississippi, and Hawaii to go (7). Hawaii’s the treat I’m saving for last!

I’m all about the US of A thing since 13 trips to Europe proved it was a drag. There’d be so much love if they cared enough to learn the same language as each other!

I am looking forward to one international detour soon – the Dominican Republic next May for my friend’s wedding.

Just returned from a 9 day, 3600 mile road trip. I meant to visit all the states between Chicago and Moab, Utah, but I ended up taking the Southwest route home. I unexpectedly covered Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, and Oklahoma. 11 states to go!

Driving west from Chicago to Moab for some 4 wheeling next Saturday. This ten day trip will cover Nebraska and Colorado for me, then FIFTEEN LEFT TO GO!!! WOOHOO!

I’ve been making serious progress over the past 9 or so months since I moved to Chicago. It’s a great starting place for checking out the country! When I lived in New York City, I had no concern for the rest of the US, and I used it as a launching pad for international trips. It’s crazy how priorities change, and how I ever thought that a grimey old city in Europe could rival the natural beauty of the American west. Go Wyoming!
