Jack's Ramblings
Shasta542:
If I stop there -- I count it.
And I buy a keychain--or a magnet. LOL
Penthesilea:
Of course you have been there. It counts.
Was the same for me last year, when I had a stopover in Philadelphia. I counted it. Well, on my way back home I missed my connection and had to stay the night in Philadelphia, but I would have counted it anyway. This year, I'll have a stopover in Milwaukee - and it counts! :)
And I will also count Wisconsin to the states I've been to.
We have an interactive map somewhere, where you can check the states you've been to and it shows you a map of the US with your states marked red.
And we have the same with the countries of the world.
I'll go and see if I can find it.

You all are just great and it makes me feel so good to know that there are actually people out there that read what I say and actually care about what I do end up doing. Probably I will stay around here for the forseeable future and make many visits to places I do like and places that I have never been to before. Sometimes I wonder if that really is having the best of two worlds. I think about all the places Truman goes and all the places he sees. He makes that happen and I admire him for it.

So can you Jack, so can we all - we just need to make a concerted effort, travelling is great if we have the time and money to do it but we dont always have that - there are other ways to enrich our lives - reading, chatting with other cultures either on here or on skype etc, learning new skills, volunteering etc.
Oh by the way - I passed through slovenia on the train while doing my euro trip - I kinda count that by saying I saw some lovely countryside but didn't actually stop anywhere and when in crotia i was meant to have a 20minute stopover in Zagreb, but we missed the train and aso we ended up having 5 hours there instead. I say I've been there as I did go see some stuff to waste some time!

Here's the thread with the US map:

Heck, I even counted Montana, since I walked a few meters beyond that sign in LF! :laugh:
Edit:
I also found the one with the whole world:

Going to update that one now :).

Hi, Jack! I just saw a cowboy from North Carolina win the PRB Bullriding championship at the rodeo in Denver. Do you know North Carolina very well? I would love to go there since I saw Last of the Mohicans and learned that that movie was filmed in North Carolina!!
