Harvey,
Hope you are well and safe!

Let's see, I guess my longest trip would be from Georgia through LA to Thailand, then on for a summer of teaching English in Hanoi. I also had several faculty international seminars, one for a month in India, flying from Georgia through New York to London, Mumbai, and Chennai, another for a month in East Africa, plus a summer Fulbright through Singapore and Malaysia. Considering I traveled west to Vietnam and East to India, I guess I can say I've been around the world. Back in the 70s I spent about nine weeks bicycling around Western Europe, and also taken several shorter trips to Canada and Mexico. Would travel constantly if I could.

I've flown over one million miles on two different airlines, but don't think any one trip was further than Australia. Used to regularly fly the LA-Tokyo-Hong Kong - Singapore route but always on business and always crowded agendas.

Since COVID, my longest trip has been about five miles to the nearest chick-fil-a drive thru window (and I don't even like chick-fil-a).

tomad Loc: North Carolina

Twice, I've done around the world trips with close to a dozen stops so each of those trips would have been at least 25,000 miles and I think much more as the travel was never in a straight line. Each of those trips were also about 6 weeks in duration.

Ghery Loc: Olympia, WA

1.4+ million miles on UA. Who knows what else on other airlines. 50+ countries over the years. Mostly for business, but some for fun and games. I keep a spreadsheet showing countries by years, and courtesy of a need for a Russian visa application a few years ago I can even tell you the dates I was in various countries for the past 10+ years. Thank goodness for digital photos and their time stamps.

I sailed my sailboat around the world. Six years, 42 countries.

Been to all 50 states. Longest single trip: Washington D.C to Paris to Mauritius and return. Best trip: D.C. to Amsterdam to Kenya/Tanzania and return--a great safari with lots of photo ops. Virus wiped out trip this year to Uganda/Rwanda--gorilla trek and photo ops; resched for next year.

Interesting query. It brought back some old memories. By the time I was 17, 1961, I had been in:
All 48 continental US states.
All 13 Canadian Provinces.
All countries in Central America.
All of the Major islands in the Greater Antilles and Bermuda.
Columbia & Venezuela in South America.
Was in Alaska in 2003 for work.
Went to Hawaii for a convention in 2009.
That made all 50 states.
My family owned Carnival equipment and we traveled a lot.

I’m impressed. The best we ever did was several trips from Annapolis to points along the New England coast in a 42 foot C&C. How large was your boat?

David in Dallas Loc: Dallas, Texas, USA

I consider myself fairly well traveled. Counting my travels during 20 years USAF, I have been to: all 50 US states; all but the top 2 Canada provinces; all of western Europe except Monaco; all the Baltic countries except Lithuania; Hungary, Slovakia, Czech Republic in eastern Europe; Iran; Turkey; Greece, Crete, and islands; China; Kenya; Australia; New Zealand; Mexico; Belize; Grand Cayman; Roatan; UK (England, Scotland, Wales); and Ireland. I think that's all. Many of my travels are documented photographically on Flickr:

Wow - we have a lot of well-traveled members here at UHH and it would probably be very hard to establish a real winner, but winning in these contests is not really the thing, the experience gained is what makes traveling that interesting and rewarding. To throw in my 2 bits with a bit of stats:

Lived permanently in 6 countries
Worked in 18 countries
Drove in 61 countries
Visited 120 countries
Round-the-world vacation trips: 5 (while stationed in Hong Kong)

Longest single vacation trip on our honey moon (4 months): Married in Hong Kong fly to Europe, drive 6000 miles in Europe, take the boat from Liverpool to Montreal (with car on the boat), have to drive 300 miles to Toronto, make 12,000 out of it by driving Montreal - Florida - Texas - California - Vancouver - Toronto. So the driving was 18,000 plus the flight HK to Europe 6000 plus the sea journey Liverpool to Montreal 3600, total some 27,600 miles.

Just for the heck of it, I calculated out another trip: HongKong - Zurich - Vancouver - Tahiti - Auckland - Sydney (plus hopping all over the center/east of Australia) - Hong Kong = 29,040 miles, even longer.

My later trips are captured on photo albums (just 2010-2016, some 70 albums, working on much more) - see them on my photo website: weberwest.weebly.com

But as I said, numbers are not really important, experienced gained is - have you by chance noticed my Arabian Peninsula series on UHH that just finished today?

Have fun - keep hopping! Joe
