NB: This entry has been CORRECTED, thanks to a timely reminder from my friend Wendy!
Inspired by tales of people who’ve been everywhere,
who collect countries, even if they just zip off an airplane and touch
the ground before zipping back to their full upright and locked
positions, I decided to make a list of all the places I’ve been. But
where to keep this scrap of paper so I can always find it? Why, on this
blog, of course! Herewith, my list, by region. Some you will consider on
the verge of cheating, but I give them to you as The Traveler’s Century
Club lets you have them!
Hawaiian Islands
Mexico
Canada
United States (continental)
Ecuador
Austria
Balearic Islands (Mallorca)
Czech Federated Republic
Denmark
England
Netherlands (but only to the Amsterdam airport!)
Russia
Finland
France
Germany
Hungary
Ireland (Eire)
Italy
Scotland
Spain
Vatican City
Wales
Gabon
India
Coming up later in 2005 and 2006:
Croatia
Slovenia
Bosnia and Herzegovina
Serbia
Macedonia (hmmm, this one isn’t on The List; must be a political problem!)
Ghana
Tanzania
MOROCCO (with Wendy, who’s already scoped out the place and found the
most fabulous hotels. Furthermore, we need more of those great beaded
SHOES!)
A good start, I think, but I’ve got a long way to go!
Where is Morocco on the 2006 list???
