I have no doubt that I really have been to those countries.

I am agnostic on the method of arrival and departure. But the helicopter to Monaco is fun (albeit pricey now as you have to rent the whole bird).

But I am of the view that a country / state / overseas territory et cetera only “counts” if you stay overnight.

Opinions, I am sure, may vary :-)
