    I'm from Toledo, OH... so far I've been to Oregon, Washington, Texas, Louisianna, Michigan, Indiana, and Pennsylvania
    Outside the US I've been to Belize and to the Dominican Republic. I'd do a lot more if I could, but kids and finances don't allow it much.

    I love traveling. I look forward to two big trips a year once I'm able to. I've been to almost every state in the US excluding the North West (Washington area). I've lived in Illinois, Iowa, Georgia (twice) and Texas. I'm 26 and hoping to live in two more states before I hit 35 and Travel more extensively outside of the US. I've been to the Bahama's and Toronto as of now.

    My favorite US cities are LA and Denver!

    I live to travel but it seems I rarely get to. I am envious of all of you who get to go.

    Glad to read I'm not the only one, our grace periods between ventures are simply the time it takes for us to save up for the next plane ticket. You only live once right, and there is just so much amazing stuff in this world to see. I'm worried that in a few years with the cost of gas and what not going up it might not be as feasible to do some of the longer trans Atlantic treks .

    My second thought is that right now we don't have kids so its A lot cheaper. Many ppl I've talked to say you can travel with kids and I'm sure you can and it would add a whole new dimension but I think that's only practical if your staying domestic or within North American someone how dropping 2k on a five year old to hop the pond seems like a bit much.

    Another couple of big trips I'd like to plan in the next five years would be hitting Asia up again (Japan once more, and China) and doing Machu Picchu in South America. There are a couple of other sites I'd like to visit however since I'm a female I'm more hesitant to go Egypt, Mecca (that was mentioned previously) and a lot of the wholly land even with my husband I'm not sure how comfortable I would be.

    We're big travel fans, I think I must have been born with itchy feet. Our problem is too many places to go & never enough time or money.:laugh:
    This year we're off to New Orleans to meet up with friends, and making the most of our little caravan while we're 'at home', then Germany in Oct.
    The next big trip is next year, New Zealand South Island.
    We both want to go back to India again, and Italy , Vancouver Island was fantastic so want to go back there......................

    Like I said too many places, not enough time.

    How do you guys afford it? My last trip tapped me out, granted it was three months long, but it'll take forever to recoup the money.

    I travel for work, so I try to lump the trip on during a weekend or at the end. Saves on the expense of airtravel and has allowed me to go to some really cool places (Dubai, Phuket, Bangkok, Macau, Amsterdam, Istambul, etc.)

    I also save up for a big trip with my daughter every four years. Next up, Asia in the Summer of 2014.
