Originally Posted By Mr X Just got to thinking about where I've flown in my life. I realized it's actually fairly limited, as much of my travels around America (and Mexico) have been by car or bus.

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

Originally Posted By Liberty Belle Ugh, now I have to think! My "point of origin" is Brisbane, Australia. Places I've flown to: Townsville Cairns Sydney Melbourne Perth Canberra Auckland Wellington Hong Kong Singapore Frankfurt Rome Paris London Los Angeles San Francisco Miami Orlando Buffalo New York City Chicago Las Vegas New Orleans Think that's all, but I only just remembered to add Canberra to the list (and I was only there two weeks ago!) so I could easily be forgetting something.

Seattle Las Vegas Nashville Raleigh, NC Probably more that I can't remember, but most of my travel desire has gone away and Orlando has become my primary target.

Originally Posted By Mr X ******Bien Hoa, RVN*** ??<<< Vietnam war...hero at large.*** 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?
Originally Posted By alexbook I'm not 100% sure of this list: Los Angeles (point of origin) San Francisco Oakland Las Vegas Chicago Washington Newark Raleigh, NC Boston Tel Aviv Amsterdam Stuttgart(?)
Originally Posted By Mr X This is the sort of interesting stuff I was hoping for! How was Tel Aviv?? 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)
Originally Posted By WorldDisney Okay, here's my list in no particular order. I GUESS my point of origin will be L.A. although probably only a third of these places was to and from L.A I'm guessing. And no connecting airports, just final destinations. Anyway, my list: 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.
Originally Posted By alexbook Forgot two: Cincinnati and Seattle The trips to Israel and Germany were partly for school and partly vacation. 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.
Originally Posted By Labuda Ok, so places I've had as final destination when flying, with point of origin the San Antonio/Austin part of Texas: Houston Dallas Los Angeles Orlando Tampa 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.
Originally Posted By Mr X I can only imagine SuperDry might come close, or TDLFan if he were still around (not exactly fair since he works for the airlines but still...). WorldDisney certainly earns his title! (I only hope I can get to freakin Europe someday! lol) By the way, for folks who are less seasoned (like me, obviously ), 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!
Originally Posted By Labuda "Why such three interesting international destinations? " I have my suspicions for Amsterdam. Despite post #14, that is. hehe
