Wow, Lenore! You've been everyone! Currently, I'm writing this comment from a computer in the Ukraine. :) I live in Canada, and visited the U.S. once. I also set foot in Poland to get to where I am now. Four countries down, a lot to go!

I meant to say "you've been everywhere" NOT "everyone". My bad!

WOW! You are well traveled!!!

Other than US, my countries have just been: Canada, Mexico, France, Italy, Great Britain, Switzerland (next summer), Germany. I've got Europe almost covered, but I'm dying to see more of the Southern side (Greece and even Georgia or Albania) and Asia.

This is an amazing list. I've only been to four European countries. I really want to on a full trip and see a bunch. I've been to a lot of Asian countries though but that's because I live in Asia!
