Visited States map  
Here's my map (stolen from [info]alphielj and [info]babettew54):



create your own visited states map

I have people on my f-list who live in my blank areas. This must be corrected, don't you think? ;D

wow you have been to a ton of states!
Barbara: Summer[info]htbthomas on June 19th, 2008 02:28 pm (UTC)
I have!

A lot of the map is due to a 7700-mile roundtrip / 5 week tour of the US we did in 2000. :)

Goodness, Barb! Your map is amazing! But no NY or MA!?? You never know, huh!!?? :D:D
Barbara: Summer[info]htbthomas on June 19th, 2008 02:44 pm (UTC)
I've ALWAYS wanted to go to the Northeast, but I've never had the chance! Someday...

*goggles*
Impressive!
Barbara: Summer[info]htbthomas on June 19th, 2008 05:31 pm (UTC)
It is a lot! I do love to travel, though! :)

I don't know if counts but I'm planning to go to New York after my graduation.... it will took a time maybe one year or two years for now but still... m:P

WOW! I'm impressed.

Ya know... the only way I'd get my map to look even remotely visited is if I added states like Colorado, based on the fact that I spent 2 hours at the airport in Denver once... *lol*

However, I can happily say that I've been to some of those states where you haven't: NY, VT, MA, NH, and my very favorite one: AK. :)
Barbara: Summer[info]htbthomas on June 19th, 2008 05:50 pm (UTC)
If they had one for Canada, how would yours look? I've been to three provinces, not many.

Well, we'll have to schedule a meetup somewhere in those states!

I've been to two provinces. Because I've lived in them - Québec and Ontario... *crawls under her desk in shame*

And hey, my favorite thing to do is to hop on a plane and spend time with friends -- well, okay, besides sleeping and engaging in superhero-related fanstuff. ;)

You could probably visit a friend in a state you've been before.
Barbara: Summer[info]htbthomas on June 19th, 2008 05:51 pm (UTC)
I have been many times to Arkansas, actually - my husband's paternal grandmother is in Conway. :)

You want to visit my counrty too? It might be a little farther.
Where's your home state?
Barbara: Summer[info]htbthomas on June 19th, 2008 05:52 pm (UTC)
I have been to France -- to Paris, Mont St. Michel and Besancon (the guy I did my thesis on was from there - it was so lovely!) But I'd love to go again. :)
adja999: Logan whoops[info]adja999 on June 19th, 2008 05:57 pm (UTC)
Oh, Besançon isn't far from where I am now. I agree with you, it's a nice region.
I'd love to go back to the US.
I hope I'll have good enough grades to be a US exchange student. We have plenty of double diplomas oportunities but american universtity are very demanded.

Gawd damn, you've done a lot of traveling! My own map looks horribly empty, I'm afraid.

Oh think we used to be neighbors or something. I see you went to Exeter high school and my ass is sitting in Visalia right now. Lovely weather we're having...

NOT

Visalia? Holy crap, WHUT?? Why are you there!? How...? *sputters*

The only other person I know in fandom is [info]starrylites, who is now in Hanford.

I love to travel, especially by car. So I do plan to visit those other states as soon as I can, gas prices be damned! :)
bellarata: you're brilliant[info]bellarata on June 19th, 2008 06:06 pm (UTC)
*shakes head sadly* I'm here because I live here. For the last ten years, I'm afraid. We moved from Pismo Beach (which I greatly miss) Actually, Visalia isn't TOO bad. actually getting some decent shopping here. No Trader Joes yet, but what can you do...

I just friended [info]starrylites I'm a newbie to this fandom so I don't know many people yet but nice to know I have like minded obsessed people nearby!

Gas prices are a very scary thing. I live in fear. *shudders*
Barbara: Summer[info]htbthomas on June 19th, 2008 06:31 pm (UTC)
That's pretty much the only thing to do in Visalia, isn't it? Shop and go out to eat? ;) At least, that's all we do when I visit my dad, who still lives there. Haven't been in about 4 years though.

It's so cool to know another person in the area!
Barbara: LJ-sense is tingling[info]htbthomas on June 19th, 2008 06:57 pm (UTC)
Oh, by the way, make sure to comment on her "friends only" post - or she probably won't friend back. :)
svgurl: rani[info]svgurl on June 19th, 2008 06:50 pm (UTC)
Wow! You've been to a lot of places! That's awesome! :D
Barbara[info]htbthomas on June 19th, 2008 06:55 pm (UTC)
I definitely have been - I'm a big travel nut, when I can afford it. :)
pgwfolc[info]pgwfolc on June 19th, 2008 07:38 pm (UTC)
That is impressive. (But I'm not so fond of all those states being colored red...)

As it happens, I live in NJ. About an hour from NY. And I'm a big fan of New England, especially CT and MA.
Barbara: Summer[info]htbthomas on June 19th, 2008 10:33 pm (UTC)
Oh, well, then I may descend upon you someday! :)

*extends invite to drop by and see me in SD once I get there and get a house*
Barbara: Summer[info]htbthomas on June 19th, 2008 10:34 pm (UTC)
Oo, yay! Will do! :)
Looney Loopey Lea Lovegood[info]chickadilly on June 20th, 2008 01:02 am (UTC)
You know you could always visit those states again! ;)
Barbara: Summer[info]htbthomas on June 20th, 2008 01:19 am (UTC)
And I'm sure I will! :)

Geez, I know the upper midwest is boring, but you could at least have the decency to come and visit me and put a nice red mark in the funny looking state next to Wisconsin. ^_~
Barbara: Summer[info]htbthomas on June 23rd, 2008 08:51 pm (UTC)
I'd totally love to visit if you'll have me someday. :D
the_flowergirl: Candles[info]the_flowergirl on June 23rd, 2008 09:16 pm (UTC)
Sure! I had a friend come visit me last year!
