47.  Missing Hawaii and both Carolinas.  Some day I will get them.  The Carolinas for the beer and barbecue, and Hawaii for obvious reasons.

I am glad that work sent me to most of the south and midwest, for I would not visit them again voluntarily.  :)

I'm on the fence with Connecticut as well. Does Arkansas count if the GPS took me to West Memphis by mistake?

Not sure about the beer scene in South Carolina, but the BBQ in NC is far superior.  Whoever had the idea of a yellow mustard barbecue sauce should be shot.  (Of course, I'm from North Carolina and extremely biased).

The beer scene in North Carolina has exploded (of course, right after I moved away, but I moved to Beervana).  Lots of little local places in every little town.  A lot of it is quite good.  Depending on where you end up travelling there's several good ones in the Charlotte area, a good number around Raleigh/Durham/Chapel Hill and of course Asheville is "Beer City USA" (according to them).

hit all 50. my last one was alaska and it was on a cruise we took there in 2013. got a pic showing my last state...

This was on the drive back from the Yukon after taking the White Pass Railroad in Skagway, right? I think I have a much foggier version of the same picture floating around from my trip on 2006.

On another note, I should really leave the East Coast more often:

Only 17 states for me, not counting airport layovers. I'd like to do more domestic travel, but every time I start to plan a vacation it seems there's always a cheaper deal to go to Europe. (Consequently, I've been to almost as many places outside the country as I have inside the country.)

I've been on 4 of the 7 continents. Contrary to what some others have said here, I think Antarctica would be mind blowing.

Apparently I'm afraid on the middle of the country...


For all of you who haven't been to the New England states, fly in for a day and get them done.  :)

Yep, from where I am in North Central Mass every NE state is less than 2 hours, plus NY.

I'm 21 miles from the geopgraphical center of New England, so I guess you could say I'm centrally-ish located.

46 for me, and I'll get to the last 4 in June (Montana, Oregon, Washington, and Alaska). 

I had been to 9 states when I began dating this girl (now wife) who really enjoys road trips and camping.
