How Many Countries?

[charliep]

A strange question and non market related question for you while you scramble to get crop into the ground.

How many countries and continents have you visited (either on vacation or business)?

Depending on your stage of life and family, will you/are you/did you encourage your children to travel?

8 Countries 3 Conts. Have Younger Children but we take them as much as possible they travel great and it is the best life experience we can offer them.

I am at 28 countries, 20 US states and 5 provinces. Like SK3 and
others, the gap in my travel is south America and Australia. The
Canada number is a sin that will be rectified when I enter the world of
not working.

For those of you who wonder why I asked, just a brain teaser to get
everyone thinking outside the box. Maybe what is important long term.
Short term, the daunting task is in front of you but this will pass.

Have a friend who is at close to 70 countries. Same age as me. Many
of the normal health issues of this time of life but a target of travelling
to 100 countries. He'll do it.

1, USA. Went to Saskatchewan once, didn't
like it, soos won't travel further East.
Guess I'm a stick in the mud, like the old
lady says I am. She travels WAY TOO MUCH
and has such trivial memories of the
places she's been and seen. What a waste
of time and money...... However yous
worldly types probably won't agree. Are
you Comedian farmers or touristas?
