Born in California, moved to Missouri and then to Virgina, Tennessee, Hawaii, Maryland and now Illinois. Visited most every where else. Finally capped it off with a Alaskan Cruise a few years back.<br /><br />From where I was from, Delaware was nothing but an annoying speed trap on the way the Atlantic City.Grant Wagnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00366349480592207557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3297986341537650775.post-10805250882752996222010-10-31T10:30:33.319-05:002010-10-31T10:30:33.319-05:00Yep Jim, I know what you mean about going to Europ...Yep Jim, I know what you mean about going to Europe.

The most I have traveled was when I was still in school, one of my friends' family took me (along with their own 5 kids) on a trip with them all the way to Washington, DC!<br /><br />They were hunting antiques and bought a brand new station for the trip! That trip was during the Civil War centential! We went to all the major battle grounds and then to colonial Williamsburg!<br /><br />Got to see the Smithsonian! WOW! Hell of a trip for a young man!<br /><br />Except for s short time in Oklahoma, I've lived in Texas all my life! Never had the urge to go to Europe or anywhere overseas!HermitJimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13631580830147175636noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3297986341537650775.post-55769581372206117142010-10-30T17:54:08.690-05:002010-10-30T17:54:08.690-05:00Hey TFT, My motor-home doesn't have pontoons o...Hey TFT, My motor-home doesn't have pontoons or a sail, so my wife, our dogs, and I will probably not be coming your way anytime soon. And will not take my shoes off for anyone, so I can't fly. I quit flying when the hassle of getting on the plane was 100 times worse than the trip.Dizzy-Dickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14150939928800538404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3297986341537650775.post-79279328122757998762010-10-30T17:49:13.649-05:002010-10-30T17:49:13.649-05:00DD you are still a young man and there are some am...DD you are still a young man and there are some amazing places outside the US of A you know.

Most do it by air and miss the states that they fly over. I prefer taking my time and if in a hurry, I only go 300 miles per day. Got to have time to smell the flowers.Dizzy-Dickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14150939928800538404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3297986341537650775.post-78341185220909507282010-10-30T14:24:46.654-05:002010-10-30T14:24:46.654-05:00Uh, Ben, Hawaii IS part of the US. :) I think yo...Uh, Ben, Hawaii IS part of the US. :) I think you mean Outside CONTINENTAL US?<br /><br />As for OCONUS for me, Bahamas once, British Virgin Islands, Puerto Rico (airport, anyway), US Virgin Islands (differnt trips), Germany for 3 weeks for work, and now Honduras for a year. I need to sit down and see what states I've not seen yet. The trip from WA to Kansas City took me into a lot of the US that I had not seen before. Of course, a lot of it was at night so I still haven't seen some of it...Shadowmosshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17302898633500446571noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3297986341537650775.post-43822882685189583752010-10-30T14:05:11.346-05:002010-10-30T14:05:11.346-05:00Wow Ben, you have been around.
