Bleh. Spent much of last night in the bathroom. Most of this morning and afternoon in bed. Plus lots of this evening curled under a blanket watching TV. Bleh. But I did manage to play with this map some. I’ve seen it or similar maps on other blogs and decided to give it a try. The red states are the ones I’ve visited or been to at least once.
Create your own personalized map of the USA (NOTE: To make this fit, I had to crop the source map. Hawaii and Alaska are not shown; I have not been to either state.)
I’m not sure if this is completely accurate or fair. I’m not sure if it’s accurate because I can’t remember if I ever went to Mississippi or the Carolinas during my childhood. I’m certain the rest is accurate. I’m not sure if it’s fair, because some of these states I’ve only been to because I had to drive through them to get where I was going. But driving through a state can take a lot of time, think of the east or west drive through Nebraska, and as long as you’re paying attention, you do see a lot.
I’m actually surprised by how much red there is on this map! If I’d had to mark where I’d been in each state, there would be a lot less red! Someday I want to travel more and see more of these United States (and other parts of the world)!
Uh-oh. Sounds like you caught that nasty bug that’s going around. I had it over xmas. I thought it was food poisoning until my sis and dad came down with the same symptoms a few days later. Drink lots of liquids and take naps with Reggie.
I drank so many fluids yesterday I thought I was going to float away!!! Will probably repeat that today.
heh I have a couple of “unfair” states like that - from when I caught the train from NY to DC. Didn’t actually set foot in a couple of states at all
Hum, I don’t remember seeing your map of the U.S. I’ve looked at your wonderful U.S. trip pictures, but I don’t remember seeing the map. Will have to look again!
OK, I found a map at http://kazza.id.au/usa/ in the June 19, 2004 entry, but it doesn’t show anything for the east coast. Boy, your pictures, which are great, remind me that I really, really, REALLY need to do more traveling!
Travelling is a very good thing
I’m hoping to get back one day to do more of the east coast.
And don’t forget the midwest!
