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!

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…

Fulfilled!
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…

Visited Columbus, MI for school. It was a midwestern state, nothing I haven’t seen before. But it was lovely to visit, if briefly. Can’t say I’d go back unless there was a good reason. August 2009
Also went to Washington to visit a friend in Sept. 2009. Visited Pike Place Market, saw the throwing fish. A lush & green state! Worth visiting again!
