It was fun to go through the list and check off the places I have been to. Of this list I have visited 17 places so far, I have four more U.S. cities to visit (Atlanta although I have flown in there countless times still does not count since I have never been into the city) and those should be the easy ones to check off. I have my work cut out for me, but I am up for the challenge.
How about you? How many have you been to?
