How many states have you been to?

[Philly]

For me, 3

Anaheim, CA - Born and raised there until 1996, then moved to:

Seattle, WA - I currently live in South Seattle, in the Beacon Hill neighborhood

Woah! I grew up down the road from you in Orange and now I live down the road from you again in Burien! But I got there first. you should stop following me.I already shoddied Michigan.

I've invaded the east coast for the second time. My company has sent me to Philadelphia for a two-day class. Located tantilizingly close to several state lines, I was able to drive through Delaware and Maryland before driving back up through New Jersey to my hotel, north of Philly. Considering that took all of 90 minutes (plus a stop for food), I think the east-coast dwellers have an advantage in this game... . Anyway, with the addition of PA, DE, MD, and NJ, my total has ballooned to 17. I'm close to being in the 50% American category! Texas and Hawaii are on the schedule for early 2008, which will help with the seasonal depression associated with a Western Washington winter .

On a side note, making an eastbound, cross-country flight in mid-December certainly plays with your head. The sun is rising when you leave, and setting when you land 4 1/2 hours later. It's a short day and a long day all at once!

But the East coast people are all lazy punks who think that leaving their time zone might as well be a trip across the planet. They have the advantage in state size but I find it surprising that us west coasters tend to visit about the same amount of states even though we have to fly to every single one.

But that cross country flight sounds pretty wild. I had never thought of anything like that happening on such a short flight. That's almost like leaving Seattle at 10AM and arriving in Scotland at 9AM after a layover in Europe.

The time zone thing sucks, I hate flying out to California and I hate it even more flying back home again. I think since there isn't really anything major in the Midwest us east coaster just tend to stay around here. I mean I can go from here to Orlando and back up to Bangor, ME and still never have to adjust my clock.

Meh. You get used to it.

I use a cell phone. No adjustment necessary!

Well ya you must bounce back and forth from WA to MI quite a bit since your family is presumably still out there. I fly out to California every two years or so, it's not like it's a huge deal. Although I'm going to Vegas at the end of June, so west coast here I come...again.

And I typically drive to places around here, I wish they put atomic clock receivers in cars, it would make life simpler.

I flew from Alaska to Hong Kong, more or less following the sun. That was weird. Flying home Hong Kong to Toronto, Canada (direct) was also really strange, not to mention painfully long.

Yeah. I'm getting on my third plane back home on Friday from when I first got here. Unless I do something crazy like stay up until 4 AM at home either the night before I leave or the night I get back I'm fine.

That would be useful for trips out to Boise, but I would imagine much more useful here where the nearest time zone is so close.....

I do like the flights home from Europe. Get home at around 5 and go straight to sleep and wake up the next morning back on track!

We go to Chicago fairly frequently, having friends and family in the area, and that certainly would be a bonus. I don't think I could count the number of times we've arrived outrageously early to most things because of the rather-silly time change.

Normally I stay in that Mid-West corridor, no further West than Illinois or Mississippi, and only as East as the Atlantic Florida coast. Although oddly enough I've never been in WV/VA or Pennsylvania, but maybe a mile or two into North Carolina when in the Smokey Mountain National Park.

I personally prefer to vacation here in Michigan or in Florida, the rest of the States don't matter a whole lot personally. I do plan to travel to San Francisco or San Diego soon (hopefully San Diego for Comic Con), and maybe Texas if I feel like visiting family in Houston. Maybe...

[Parnelli Bone]

Maybe type where you haven't been...

 

[Josh]

I've been to more countries than I have states, and I've seen well over half the US. One of the advantages of being in the Air Force with a flying position/aircrew job.

So nobody's been to Missouri? Missouri loves company...

I went to Texas for the first time a few weeks ago. We were visiting the Rohm and Haas plant in Deer Park for a couple days. That whole area along 225 is disgusting. There is a horrible stench in the air, and the clouds are green. We had a good time, though . Excellent steaks 👍.

the smell is skunk cow dung and some treatment plant. and since when were the clouds green? i went through texas when i went to mexico and the only green thing i saw was a wet saw cutting fish and bricks intermittently.
