How to visit all 50 states
It made me
happy
 "see my other entry on road trips"
How I did it: My husband and I alway took weekend trips, etc but we finally finished seeing all the states in April 2007 when we loaded up our 1998 Dodge Neon with all we had left in the world and drove off. Read my entry on "road trips". Lessons & tips: Don't rush. Everything takes time. Patience is a valuable lesson we ALL HAVE to learn...and you learn that by "waiting":) Resources: age, persistence, love of travel...never quit!

How I did it: I took a 12,063 mile motorcycle ride in 2001 and hit 35 states in 4 weeks. I drove, and my wife rode the entire distance,This last week I completed another trip of 5,559 miles and visited 14 of the remaining states all on motorcycle.The 50th state, Hawaii, I have been to, but not yet on a motorcycle. This experience has certainly made the country seem more connected, and not quite so big. Read how I did it…
How I did it: Mother at age 50 penciled in a map of the US to make sure she hit all 48 contiguous states when I was 13. She'd already visited Alaska at least twice that I know of. For our silver wedding anniversary we cruised to Alaska, my 49th visited state during their 49th anniversary, and it's the 49th state. Then in 2009 we flew to my 50th visited state during their 50th anniversary and Hawaii is the 50th state. We stayed two weeks in Wa… Read how I did it…
How I did it: I raced to get as many as I did, but it often took the joy out of visiting because I always wanted to drive a gazillion miles to cross the next damn border. Read how I did it…

I’ll leave out states where I’ve sat in the airport!
I find it wonderful how each state has its each individual characteristic. Each state has its own personality and I just want to see that.
I love to travel, and I have many places throughout the US that I love. But I want to uncover what each state has to offer. I’m up to 22 states covered. Better get going!
