Some of these cities I've flown to multiple times, and I figured I'd stick to destinations rather than connecting airports or anything like that (I recall connecting through Washington D.C. once, and Chicago and Detroit several times, but I've never actually BEEN to those cities so I won't count connections). Would be interesting to read some other folks' lists, I'm sure there are some crazy ones filled with interesting destinations).

    So, here's mine. I was born in Boston, so I'll skip that and consider it "point of origin". :)

    NYC
    Ft Lauderdale
    Orlando
    Miami
    West Palm Beach
    Pittsburgh
    Buffalo
    Indianapolis
    Kansas City
    L.A.
    San Francisco
    Vancouver
    Tokyo
    Okinawa
    Hong Kong
    Guam
    Honolulu

    Please add Las Vegas, baby!

    Wow.

    I had no idea you were, well, duh (why would I!?). Thank you for your service to America!

    I figured out Bien Hoa from a google search, but what does RVN stand for?

    Why such three interesting international destinations? Were you on business trips, or did you choose such places for vacations or family visits? (only if you feel like talking about them, of course! just seems like interesting and unusual destinations)

    San Jose, USA
    Chicago, USA
    Lima, Peru
    Tokyo, Japan
    Kuala Lampur, Malaysia
    Singapore
    Phuket, Thailand
    Sydney, Australia
    Athens, Greece
    London, England
    Fukoaka, Japan
    Seoul, S. Korea
    Chejudo, S. Korea
    Ho Chi Min City, Vietnam
    Bangkok, Thailand
    Paris, France
    Orlando, USA
    Vancover, Canada
    Boracay, Philippines
    Oakland, USA
    Daegu, S. Korea
    Mexico City, Mexico
    Guam
    Osaka, Japan
    Hong Kong, China
    Beijing, China
    Aman, Jordan
    Cairo, Egypt
    San Diego, USA
    Shanghai, China
    Fiji
    Busan, S. Korea
    Manilla, Philippines
    Davao, Philippines

    I just realized I been to Europe twice but most of it has been overland. Even in America, I havent done too much, but unless I travel to east coast (although I took a Greyhound bus cross country once, San Fran to D.C., first and last time lol) or the few times I flown to school, majority of what I seen of it has been in a car, bus or train as well.

    I flew in and out of Amsterdam on a vacation during college. Actually, I spent most of that vacation in England, but for some weird reason it was cheaper to fly into Amsterdam and take the ferry across the Channel than to fly into London.

    For me, Tel Aviv in 1978 was scary. I'd never seen heavily armed airport security before.

    Honolulu
    Denver
    Las Vegas

    Oh, and just for fun little trivia, the farthest north I've ever been is Minneapolis - I had a layover there on my way back from Disneyland on the trip tht included two VERY memorable things for me: my first visit to Club 33 and my DL trip with the flu.

    Not very well traveled am I. But, hope to change that as I get older. :)

    By the way, for folks who are less seasoned (like me, obviously :p), feel free to chime in. Even if you've only flown once or twice, it'd still be interesting to see where people have been and gone!
