Not terribly impressive, I'm afraid. I'd try adding a few more to my total, but alas, the current value of the Worthless Greater American Dollar makes this a bit difficult. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

O.K. I finally got it. I really like the servimg site :) My list is not too impressive either. My wife's fear of flying has kept me from going a lot of places I want to visit. I think she is coming around though so hopefully my map will have a lot more red over the next few years. We are going to Puerto Rico this year and next year, hopefully, Belgium and the Netherlands. Also, I want to visit many countries in South America but the political situation there makes it difficult so I'll probably do Argentina first. Also, I really want to visit Spain.

While I do so want to finally escape the Englsih-speaking world, I must confess I'm a little worried about visiting a country where I don't speak any of the native language. I wouldn't want to seem the helpless tourist who expects everyone to speak English ;) I suppose I'll have to do it eventually, of course, but I'd like to ease myself into it first...
As for visiting the US from Europe, while it is much cheaper at present, I recall seeing a news report recently about how the number of travelers is still extremely low, as no one wants to deal with our absurd security measures. Serves us right, I suppose... 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

I agree with you. As an American, I don't want people to perceive me as that loud, obnoxious, overweight, hot-dog-eating, philistine who expects everyone to "talk american." I'm not that guy! ;) 1 person has voted this message useful |
