travel fun
I love to travel! Seeing new places, observing and meeting new people, learning languages, taking pictures. Those who know me can even attest to my love for the journey in getting there! Sometimes I feel as though I've been able to see and do a lot, and other times I realize I've barely scratched the surface of seeing my own country, let alone the world!
Countries: 10; Continents: 4.
To hopefully visit soon:
States: 10.
I don't know which states I should want to visit next; haven't given it much thought beyond the baseball stadiums some contain!

If you feel like counting your own travelled geo-political entities, or creating maps, please share the links! Or if you know of other map services you prefer, tell me about those as well!

You beat me in the international arena, 10-4, but I win in the domestic, 20-10. I was going to write a similar post once I got back from my deployment (and could pad my score a little). I suppose I can still do that, especially since you found a pretty good resource to facilitate that. Thanks!
Add Texas to your list of states. San Antonio is sooooo beautiful. While you're there, you can go up to Oklahoma and visit James!
Great idea; I'll do it! You'll have to share an idea or two for specific places in San Antonio.
I'll add another state to the 'visited' column early next week when I return from a business trip to there!

The River Walk in San Antonio is just beautiful. You can take a gondola down the river if you'd like. Tons of restaurants; you'd love the food there. Be sure to hit the Institute of Texan Cultures, Hemisfair Park (home of the 1968 world's fair) and the Alamo.
I second both of Kristen's ideas of visit James in OKC (or I can meet you in the middle some place) and the Riverwalk in San Antonio. I haven't been there myself, but whenever I hear people talking about cool places in San Antonio, Riverwalk always comes up. We supposedly have one here in OKC (I haven't been there yet) but everybody says it's nothing compared to the one in San Antonio.
