I'm just curious how many people who own Minis travel a lot. I first saw the (original) Mini in Englad while on a trip and fell in love with it, so if I didn't travel, I may not even have one!
In the US, I've been to 44 states, and then I've been to 7 other countries. Canada, Mexico, England, Scotland, France, Switzerland, Italy.
(Of course those of you in Britain and Europe have it easier - you're so lucky! )
I'm not sure if territories count, but I've been to England, Spain, (almost) Russia, Japan, Korea, Philipines, Guam, Okinawa (Japan, but not really), Canada, Mexico, and the Virgin Islands.
Next adventure is either Peru or Sweden.
Here's a picture of me at Ground Zero in Hiroshima:

And more probably, can't think off the top of my head. There's a lot of gaps in there, I'd better get back to filling them...And AprilWhine you've practically got my list of next to visits....
I voted none, but the one I've been in is a BIG one.
Maybe I'll have to head north just so I can say 1.

I took a train through Lichtenstein once, I doubt that counts...I probably forgot somewhere, Its annoying you never get passport stamps these days, or when you do its someplace like Israel that you worry if it'll offend some other country. (Not like having a US passport won't offend people anyway.)
I think I'm doing well for being less then a quarter century old...
Magic 8-ball was correct. All be in awe of Magic 8 ball.
