I grew up never having left the state of Florida. I was completely ignorant of most of the country until I got a chance to really explore. I still haven’t been to Alaska or Hawaii, and I am missing the ‘ho’ states (OK and ID), but my explorations of the states west of the Mississippi didn’t even begin until I was well into my 50s.
Kudos to you for your explorations. You have probably seen more of the US than most Americans. Enjoy the rest of the visits.
Thanks for the kind words. I love travelling around the US. What fascinates me most, is that a lot of the States themselves are like different countries in a way as they have their own cultures, traditions, laws, lingo etc etc. Obviously there's States that are similar to each other but some of them are so different by contrast. The past couple of summers with my state hopping, I've seen me in 3 states in the 1 day or 24-hour period. Love it
