Mainly on East Coast from Florida up to Niagra Falls. But also from Maryland to Minnesota.

We've been to SD, ND, TX, and HI too. Got to fly over the Grand Canyon going to Hawaii, and will see it in person one day. DH has been there - thru Colorado.

We plan on Yellowstone Park too.

Between car trips with my family while I was growing up in Minnesota, and travelling as an actor, I've been to:

All over Minnesota
Upstate New York
Chicago
Tennessee
Florida
Virginia
Boston (some baseball games)
Baltimore
Washington, D.C.
Alabama
Arizona
Las Vegas
L.A.
Ohio
New Jersey
Connecticut
Pennsylvania (across the state, + Philadelphia)
Delaware
Vermont
New Hampshire
Colorado

Wow. I didn't think I'd been that many places in the US, but when you put them all in a list, it's a long list!


I still haven't seen the Grand Canyon. Really want to see the Grand Canyon - and Montana. I have an intense desire to see Big Sky Country.

Fighting for ferals in NW NJ!
It's nice just to get to see everything even if you're just driving through.


But because of living in the RV and working from the road for so long, Gary and I actually got to live in a lot of places. We'd park near a city for 1 - 3 months. It always meant finding the new store to shop, the new dry cleaners, the new pharmacy or whatever - but it was always fun to explore the "new" cities and towns.
But we basically got to live in:

Everett (N of Seattle), WA
Petaluma (N of San Fran), CA
Big Bear, CA
Pomona, CA
Newport Beach, CA
Palm Springs, CA
Lake Havasu, AZ
Apache Junction, AZ
Kerrville, TX
Lafayette, LA
Pensacola, FL
Naples, FL
Ocala, FL
Miami, FL
Lancaster, PA
New York, NY
NW NJ
New Paltz, NY
Elkhart, IN
Chicago, IL
All over WI
Brainerd, MN
Dillon, MT
Golden, CO

We stayed so many more places for just a few weeks - but these are places where we were for at least a month and usually more like a minimum of 2-3 months - and Naples we just kept going back to for like 6 months at a time!

About the only places I haven't been in the U.S. are the New Englands states, a few east coast states, and Hawaii. My favorite vacation destinations are usually out west. I've spent a lot of time in California, simply because my sister lives in San Diego. We've taken a lot of mini-vacations to California destinations together, when I go out to visit her. I love Alaska, and really hope to visit again. I also enjoy northern Michigan (in the summer!)

The last I checked, Canada (or its provinces) are not part of the US.
I thought it was funny reading through the posts, since it sounded like Canada was just another US state.
Considering how many US companies are here, though, you might figure we are the northern part of the US.

Depends on which part of Niagara Falls you visited. There's Niagara Falls, Ontario and Niagara Falls, NY.

I know Canada isn't part of the US. I just figured I'd include it, since it's on the same continent. Hence the line break in between the states and Canada.

I've just been to New Jersey and New York City.

I've travelled a fair bit (France, Spain, Iceland, Greenland, Belgium, Danmark, Germany, UK and Austria) but not heavily within the US.
