Oh and you can include the US since you don't live here. I would have included the UK if I went there.

2. I have been
To Isreal, Saint Martin (both French and Duch so I guess this counts as two), Jamaca, Nassu, and Canada. (I also went to St Thomas but that is a US territory so I don't know wether to count it). So I guess that adds up arond 6-8 countries.

How about you?

Norway, Denmark, Germany, Poland, Czech Rep, Austria, Liechtenstein, Switzerland, France, Spain, Barbados, Canada, Japan, Phillippines, Thailand, Singapore and Cambodia.

On Edit...
I forgot Scotland, so I guess that makes 18. Dundee wasn't really worth remembering all that much; very industrial and bleak.

30. Me too.
I can go to Mexico so cheaply and easily from Texas, and it is so beautiful there! I figure I am choosing to be able to vacation there twice a year, as opposed to going somewhere more expensive once, or even once out of 2 years, depending on the cost.

16. Extra cool
cos my parents will be there.
I've recently moved abroad so am meeting there for a few days while they are in the northern hemisphere.
Should be funny, they don't speak any Spanish.
Looking forward to it.
