    I've also been to the US Virgin Islands once and will be returning there this summer with a layover in Puerto Rico, so 30 states and two territories — three if you count DC. Canada and the Bahamas are the only foreign countries.

    Both of these categories sound like they should be variations on the "had sex in" lists.

    I've been to 28 states and 15 countries. None were just airport layovers (if I add airport only, my number is 29). The ones in which I, uh, did not sleep alone will remain classified information.
