I've been to Hell. It's a better place than earth by far.
Oh, you know, I did forget a few states--my senior year in college we did a weekend roadtrip in a winnebago for a football game at Notre Dame. So I've also driven through a few states between there and Boston, though I didn't really stop and see much of anything in them.

South Carolina
Tennessee

Georgia
Alabama
Florida
Mississippi
Louisiana
Texas

There may be more states since we did travel/camp growing up, but I want to say the furthest west we went was Colorado.
From the sound of it, we may be heading to California in the next few months, but that's not set in stone yet :)
As for where I WANT to travel...almost anywhere in Europe. My dream vacation is Ireland. The Mediterranean would be great...*sigh* one day...
You know, I always wanted to travel more. When I was in my early twenties, I decided that was my goal - unfortunately, life had other plans for me - and suddenly I was on kidney dialysis, three times a week, fours hours a clip. Makes travel hard - missing dialysis is VERY bad, and setting up sessions with other clinics is difficult - and expensive - and going overseas? Well, heh, forget about it.... So I've spent most of my time in the states - and I've never been out West... yet. I've been to the Eastern side of Canada many times, as my State wears it for a hat.
Traveling with a transplant is much less hard than when on dialysis, but I still have a giant suitcase full of anti-rejection meds that I have to take - making sure I can get them filled isn't an issue in the states, but I've not even considered what it would be like internationally. Besides, I have no money for travel anyway these days - but someday, hopefully, I'll have the ability to do it. It's just been on hold for 10 years, my ideas of travel and I'm definitely not as young as I once was!
Bt
It's always really surprised me how little people actually care when you bring controlled substances across national borders. :P It might be less difficult than you think to just bring extra meds with you.
My list:
Europe:
Spain
France
Italy
Germany
Netherlands
Austria
Switzerland
Liechtenstein
Czech Republic
England
Ireland
Northern Ireland
Scotland
Wales

EDIT:
Demesne:
Prussia (modern Germany, Poland and a bit of France). :P
No Portugal? awww :P
I did quite a bit of traveling until I got a boyfriend and decided every spare moment had to be spent plotting with him. :P Now that we're moving in together, I may get to again. :P Portugal is on the list though, as is all of Scandinavia and Lithuania. :P
Awesome! :D
What about Germany?
I own Germany, which is why I obviously didn't mention it and has nothing to do with the fact that I might have forgotten to mention it. Clearly. :P
We made a detour to Linderhof on our way to Austria. :) It is the most adorable little castle ever. :P It's the little baroque that could. All over the place. In great excess. :P It has a mini hall of mirrors. XD
You own Germany? Plot twist: Deloria is really miss Angela Merkel :P
Well, technically Prussia. :P And some of Bavaria. :P And they get along perfectly. :P
A shame I've never been to Germany.
I need to try the foodz :P
The fudz are less impressive than you might think, although I'd say that about a lot of places that other people think are the height of culinary perfection. :P I'm not very into food, apart from cake. :P
Best country I've ever been for fudz was Itally! I'd move there for that reason alone if the cost of living weren't above what I can afford :P
Seeing all these people who have been to England and not to see me makes me a sad Roberta Mango!
Anyway, I can't think of specific place names right now, but, country-wise:
England
France
Spain
Portugal
Netherlands
USA
Canada
Travelling's pretty much been at a standstill for years now though.
Yay! Portugal! :P
Some good threads on the forum lately.
I will point out this, it is great to travel, but to travel in style is best. I talked to a navy guy who had travelled around the world, but had to stay on his base most of the time. He said it was mostly better to travel on your own.
So, that said,
Italy: To rome and back up north, including my farming trip this summer.
Germany: Frankfurt, Weisbaden
Switzerland
Amsterdam: And let me tell you, I can't talk about it on this forum. 2 times, once for spring break.
Paris
Acapulco, Mexico: Spring Break. Stayed in an MTV cribs style mansion complete with cooks, drivers, etc. etc.
Unbelievable.
Mexico City
Cancun
East and West Coast Australia: Hiked through the outback for a month with NOLS, chilled in Sydney.
All over US, love the west coast, lived there a few years in Fresno. Lots of camping. And also, you must go to Mardi Gras once in your life And see the Grand Canyon. Cross country road trips as well.
Golden Gate recreation area North of San Francisco is also Awesome, I climbed Mount Tam and hiked around Muir Beach.
The on place I want to really see before I die:
Rio de janiero for Carnival. I've heard stories.
You know, it would be cool fpr people to share pictures of there travels, so here we go. This was what I saw when I opened the door on the farm in Italy
Upside down, don't know how to switch it
Well...I went to Wyoming once. And boy do I have the perfect picture for you, describing all of Wyoming in a nutshell...
(http://images.travelpod.com/tw_slides/ta00/a7f/438/flat-plains-all-around-ar-ruwayshid.jpg)
...complete lifelessness in all directions. I sure am glad I wasted my time there.
That's quite the horizon. :P
My Italy pictures, are all upside down gotta fix em. But here is a nice one from Acapulco, chillin in the mansion 2005 spring break(http://mansion50.jpg) As soon as I can figure out how to post pics that is. Havin a hard time(//)

Yes, I'm from Prague. And I approve of your idea ;).
I hope I'll visit Portugal and Spain someday. All friends are praising their natural beauties and I like that South nations are so outgoing in stark contrast to always gloomy Czechs, lol.
This year, I've traveled to Sister Bay, WI; New Orleans; the front range of Colorado; Joplin, MO and will be off to Oklahoma City soon.
Not a very busy travel year so far.
