Silver Fox did this meme and tagged anyone who felt like doing it. I have traveled quite a lot within the US, not as much outside (though still non-trivial), and so I thought I'd give it a whirl. I like to travel :).

You've been to millions of places! Congrats!
Wow Phizzz. You get around. I think I'm 5/25 on that list...though there are a lot of my favorite places that didn't make the cut. Maybe I don't like crowds.
7 for me - not bad for a Brit!
It's funny that the San Fran listing grouped Fishermans' Wharf and Goldengate Park together. I assume it's an or rather than an and - they're some way apart so it would be possible to go to one but not the other!
You're totally right Cath, that is strange for them to lump those together and not all the New York stuff was kind of strange. That didn't occur to me. I was bummed that I couldn't put the Chicago one down as as place I've been to just because I hadn't been to the Navy Pier (I dont' think). I've been to Chicago several times, where I think the Lake and the Michigan Mile are perhaps more interesting :). But what do I know, I don't know what's on the Pier.
You beat me, I've only been to 10!
