Most of those I went to when I was 15 months old(went to my uncle's in Maine who was the Navy at the time). Also went to Canada... have not been to any other countries(but I hope to change that in the coming years).

AR/MO were during my Memphis trip in 2001.

States I've visited:

Enjoy your stay in Minnesota? I'm guessing it was just a layover at the Mpls/St. Paul airport.

Yes, I just landed at the St. Paul airport. I didn't really stay there for very long, per sé. Such a HUGE airport, too!

First things first.

The first image is of states I have ALREADY visited.

The second image is what I hope it will look like by the end of this year. I'm going to NYC in two months and I wouldn't be surprised if I also pass through NJ. I shall be visiting Los Angeles sometime later this year.

The third image is of Canadian provinces I have visited -- Manitoba and Saskatchewan.

The fourth image is of European countries I have visited -- so far, only the UK.

Yes, I just landed at the St. Paul airport. I didn't really stay there for very long, per sé. Such a HUGE airport, too!

Yeah, I've had MANY flights at the Twin Cities airport and I agree about how big it is. Minneapolis is my second home, I love that city. :D

It is pretty good sized. If you think that's big though, check out the airports in Chicago and Denver! Those bad boys are huge, and having a 30 minute layover in either of them can make for a scary situation.

Some of these were just airports...but so what?! :p And I don't for the life of me remember being in Oklahoma, but my mom says I was, and apparently I'm going in February anyway, so it doesn't matter.

I've been in Canada too, but I didn't want to make a map.

:rofl: Last time I was in the Denver airport was maybe a good 17 years or so ago ('89). Have you ever had a chance to ACTUALLY visit Denver? Another awesome city. Haven't been there since 2000, though...I miss Denver. :(

Wow. NY and Cali in the same year would be badass...lucky!

Hehe, thanks :D NYC will be a school trip but we will have LOADS of time for sightseeing, which will be just as badass.

I have always wanted to go to Los Angeles so I'm especially excited. It shall be a family trip. :D :cool:

Within the next two years, I may be going back to London again. That would be even more badass. :rock:

Hmm...I think I was in HS, so 96, 97...somewhere around there. We were in Huntsville. That's a cool town, with all the old houses and stuff. My dad was bowling in the men's national tourney.

I couldn't get that to work, but here's the ones I've visited:

Los Angeles, California-in 1988 for vacation (no, I didn't see any celebrities-but I almost met Johnny Carson)
Boston, Mass.-on vacation in 1989-and, no, I didn't visit "Cheers"
Eugene, Oregon-on vacation
Little Rock, Ark.-on a trip with my parents to visit my brother, his wife & their son in 96
Memphis, Tennesee-we stopped their for a day
Ronoke, Virginia-we stopped there to use the bathroom
Chicago, Illinois-on my Oregon trip, I had to change planes there. I got lost in the airport (which is easy to do, if you've ever seen it!!) and ended up taking another flight, and having to change planes in Fort Worth, Texas. I didn't get into Oregon until 11:30 at night!!!)
Millwaukee, Wisconson-for vacation, in 1985

And, I was in Toronto, Canada, YEARS AGO in 1968 with the boy scouts.

Corbin eh? I've actually never been on I-75 at any point between London KY and Chattanoogn TN (I'm usually only on 75 in KY if it's en route to Richmond [KY]/Lexington/Cincinnati. Natively, I'm from a small little dot called Albany (Clinton County), but I'm going to Western KY Univ, so I'm now based more out of Bowling Green....

:schmack: Methinks somebody needs to look over their geography one more time. :D North Dakota is also a Midwest state. It certainly isn't a mountain state and it IS next door to Minnesota. :p So you haven't visited two of the Midwest states yet :D

Just a FYI, ND and MN are considered Upper Midwest states.

Those tulips really aren't *that* special. ;) I never understood why tourists always insist on seeing them. I mean: don't you have tulips back home? :p

You should come back one more time. And let me know first so I can guide you. :wave:

ok Fonzarelli i have a question for you. is the real name of your country Holland or the Netherlands? it is often referred to as Holland but i thought that was just one part of the Netherlands. which is the correct name?

anyway i have only been to Massachusetts, Vermont, New Hampshire, Connecticut, Rhode Island, New York, Pennsylvania, and Florida.

In English "The Netherlands" is the official name of the country and its people and language are called 'Dutch'. 'Netherlanders' for its people and 'Netherlandic' or 'Netherlands' as adjectives may also be used but are uncommon.

The name "Holland" is commonly used for the Netherlands both in Dutch and in most other languages. In many languages it is also the official name of the country. Strictly speaking, though, Holland is the name of a region of the Netherlands that was the economic powerhouse during the time of the United Provinces (1581-1795). Using Holland for the Netherlands is thus comparable to the use of Great Britain for the United Kingdom. Some Dutch people, however, especially from provinces other than North Holland and South Holland, object to the use of the name of Holland for the Netherlands.

The English plural "Netherlands" is a remnant from times when the Netherlands weren't united into one country yet. In Dutch, the country is called Nederland (singular), the people are referred to as Nederlanders ("Dutch" in English) and the language is called Nederlands ("Dutch" in English). The plural form Nederlanden is used in Dutch when referring to the Kingdom of the Netherlands (Koninkrijk der Nederlanden), which includes the Netherlands Antilles and Aruba.

(No, I didn't write that myself in perfect English. :p I copied it from the Wikipedia-link in my signature, because I found it hard to explain in my own words. ;))

:lol: Where I live, we don't get tulips growing. I can't speak for anyone else, but they are a big deal for me because I am a flower lover. They just look soooo beautiful and colorful to me. ;)

You should come back one more time. And let me know first so I can guide you. :wave:
Hehe!! Deal!!! I didn't even realize you were from the Netherlands, and I've seen your name around. Now that I do know, I will definitely let you know. What city are you from?

I'm from the not-so-big and very little known city Helmond, which is in the south-east of The Netherlands. It lies close to Eindhoven, which you might know. However, I study at the University of Utrecht. Now, that is one of the bigger and better known cities, and is in the middle of the country. Also, that is one beautiful city to visit, for tourists too. But in Helmond... no, nothing to see there. :p

Fonzarelli

01-07-2006, 04:22 PM

I don't know. I thought you (Americans) referred to our country as 'Holland' sometimes as well. I always assumed everyone would call us 'the Dutch'.

Michael [hXc]

01-07-2006, 04:29 PM

we sometimes call it Holland but in our geography books at school, it is called the Netherlands. it's almost like how in some countries, Ethiopia is referred to as Abyssinia.

Don't expect too much of it. It's not *that* big and nothing special really. It's not like inside it still looks like when it was built. With that I mean it's used as a museum or it's used for expositions or weddings, so it's 'decorated' in a 'modern' manner (I hope I still make sense). If you want to really see old buildings/architecture, you should visit Utrecht, were I'm studying, or Belgian cities. You went to Antwerp. Sure you must've enjoyed the old city center. :)

I think you would find Tower of London and Windsor Castle far more interesting. I recommend Windsor Castle more... they have a changing of the guards daily, I believe. Plus there are 3246235632545473547346 rooms in the castle :lol:
Cool!! I'd love to visit London one day, so I will have to keep this castle at the back of my mind.... :)
