43?! Try Not to Visit any More States on Your Way to the Parking Lot
After all the time I spent on the road over the last two summers, I've been wondering how many states I've actually visited. Rather than sitting down with a map like a normal person, I went with the Chandler method, and tried to list all the states I could from memory. I worked intermittently throughout Tax and Patent this afternoon and eventually named all 50.
I've visited 43! Free nothing-in-particular for those who can guess where I haven't been.

States I've yet to visit: Michigan, N+S Dakota, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Montana, Idaho, Washington, Oregon, Alaska. Apparently I need to take a roadtrip north and west, preferably during the summer months. Got any plans for July 2004?

Sorry Shoop... I'll be working in July, and I've been to all but one of those states.
Matt[0] correctly guessed 3 of 7. I haven't been to Arkansas, North Dakota, or Hawaii.

For some reason I want to say that you've never been to Florida, but I can't honestly say why that state comes to mind.

Now I ask myself, how could someone who lived on the left coast for 18 years never have visited Hawaii?! You should fix that...and take me with you when you're a rich lawyer sugar-daddy type!

Common question... people don't understand how my family went to the Caribbean more than once but never to Hawaii. I even won a trip for two to Hawaii once, but when it came time to redeem it, I was strapped for cash and didn't have someone special to take, so I just cashed it in. One day, I'll make it there.

make it there this summer: there's no excuse given the proximity and the cash you'll be making!

Well, We know Hawaii. I know Jubu's been to Alaska and Maine (pretty sure about Maine).
Montana?
Mississippi?
Alabama?
Idaho?
I'm sure about Arizona, though I can't verify anything beyond Kingston.

Alabama
Arkansas
Hawaii
Mississippi
North Dakota
South Carolina (sorry Shoop)
Tennessee
To be honest, I feel like I might have been to S.C. or Tenn. before, but for the life of me, couldn't pinpoint when or where. I almost went to Tennessee this summer as part of the second trip, but then we changed plans and went north instead.

you're always welcome down he'ya, jubu.

I figured you'd been to SC because Shoop is there.
