Other than my sister (who I've partied with in US, Canada, Mexico, UK, France, and Spain)

I think 4 countries is my tops

ScottC - US, Belgium, France, Netherlands

I've partied by phone (from the comfort of my own house) with fredmartens from 4 different countries too :)

For me, it's a tie between my buddies airoli and Jailer with 8 countries each. However, airoli has a bit of an edge since I have met him in 3 continents versus only 2 for Jailer :D

airoli: USA, Canada, Czech Republic, Hong Kong, Spain, Switzerland, Thailand, and the UK

Jailer: USA, Aruba, Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, Panama, Peru, and Venezuela

I guess magic wasn't in Montreal or Vancouver then? hmmm must have been an ale or two then . . . :cool:

That's pretty impressive, AusTXHiker. We you with Jailer on a mileage run?

Mark, I am overly competitive, so we need to do another trip so that I can surge past that no-account airoli.

But, I’m thinking that Cousin Craig6z has the FT edge (15, including the U.S., and not counting transit only): India, Nepal, Thailand, England, Turkey, Kenya, Belgium, USA, Belize, Mexico, Italy (2x), Russia, Estonia, Finland, and Canada. Craig will correct me if I've missed any.

It’s a little worrying that Craig’s country number ties travel with my wife: (15: Canada, U.S., Mexico, China, Scotland, England (5x), Italy (2x), Yugoslavia, Netherlands, France, Ireland, China, pre-transfer Hong Kong, Australia, and Costa Rica).

I suspect that my wife and I have an unwritten agreement not to let Craig get ahead of our total.

BTW, I once figured and posted that, including transit, the numbers were about 20 each for wife and for cuz.

LatinPass, baby.

RD,

Sounds like a plan. As a compensation for your frustration, first two rounds of bevvies are on me. Have to admit that was a sweet one to notch in the W column. Of all the games to win..... :) Hey splitting the series is not too unfair though.

Catch you around the globe somewhere soon I hope,

Mike

Hey, I'm always ready to travel (if work does not interfere). Better hurry, airoli and I will meet in ZRH in February and June 2005. We plan to use ZRH as a base for a short weekend somewhere. I'm sure he'll insist on going to a country outside our list. There is also a possibility that I'll meet him in SIN in January 2005, another new destination!

And are you not coming to China ;)

We didn't party, but I had some great travels and adventures to: US (many places,) Canada, Mexico, Costa Rica, UK, France, Amsterdam, Germany, Japan, China/HKG and Singapore (wow, 11 countries so far!) with my Big Bruddar PremEx! :)

Bendetto (hardly ever posts): South Africa, Germany, Netherlands, Switzerland, Italy

Only two different countries :( with the following regular posters:

GK (HKG, DUS)
Weary Biz Trvlr (HKG, AMS)
SkiAdcock (DUS, LAX)

Not to sidetrack this too much but Punki did say

"with the same FlyerTalker?"

Well my name may be the same but FT has changed me forever. It has enriched my life in many ways through the people I have met. I am a changed man--I think for the better . . . :cool:

Sorry to break the news to you, but ausTXhiker and I will indeed
add SIN to our list in January!
BTW, why haven't the two of us met anyway? :eek:

The most countries would have to be with kokonutz, JSD and IO12069: 3 = (AMS, LHR, USA), and if they wouldn't have "pulled a geo" on DUS it would have been 4 :D . Also 3 with with auh2o and wingless = (LHR, DUS, USA)

Technically I have been to more countries with one other FTer but they shall remain nameless....
