List of Countries you've visited

[Hector]

My list is short as well. Walked to Jaurez mexico from El Paso (my wife's family is in El Paso). Short visit.

I hope you didn't get the impression that Juarez is what all Mexico is about.

If you ever visit a Mexican city, go to Guadalajara instead:

Guadalajara, Jalisco - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Places I have visited (note, most of the European locations were to the capital via Eurail, except for Spain, I went all over Spain on a stand-alone trip there):

Mexico (duh)
Argentina
Uruguay
Guatemala
Costa Rica
Canada (Vancouver)
Portugal (Lisbon)
Spain (Madrid, Barcelona, Granada, Seville, Toledo, Segovia)
Morocco (I felt like Indiana Jones, lol)
France (Paris)
England (London)
Ireland (we took my dad there seven years ago for some cancer treatments, it was a bitter-sweet trip)
Italy (Rome and Venice)
Greece (Athens)
Indonesia (Jakarta)

I have never visited Northern Europe aside from England and Ireland (would love too), only the Mediterranean area countries (England and Ireland being the exceptions of course).

I would love to visit Japan as well.

Alaska (U.S.) is another dream destination of mine.

I have not done any extensive travel in about seven years (Ireland being the last country outside of Mexico)...I think it's time to begin again once my schooling ends.

Why not?

I think something like Japan would be awesome.

I went to Indonesia (Jakarta) about 15 years ago...I had a blast...but it's too damn bloody far.

My sister is stationed there now,she says it's really cool.They even have a Cuban salsa club

Actually, it wasn't all that cheap.
With the money we got back, we went on a scouting expedition for a new room. We ended up at the Marina, in the Surf Motel. We paid less, the guy gave us a big reduction, in exchange for a $50 under-the-table bribe.

In the end, we spent less than in the first hotel.
Should you ever go to San Francisco: try out the International Hotel. It's a experience. Tell them we sent ya!

Yeah i hate those type of surprises,that's why i use Priceline and go for the 3 or 4 star hotels,haven't had a bad one yet and all for under $80 a night

Not too many...
US (live there)
England (mother's home country - visits as a child & while in the Army)
Scotland (born there - Dad Air Force)
Belgium (one weekend)
Germany (stationed there in my 20's Army & when I was a baby - Dad Air Force)
Austria (one weekend)
Luxembourg (one weekend)
France (one weekend)
Czechoslovakia (not in existence anymore - Army thing 5 minutes - drove across the border & quickly turned around!)
East Germany (not in existence anymore - Army Soldier of the Quarter thing 4 days)

Think that's it,

This thread is awesome! I'm trying to imagine all these places you/we've all visited as I read through them. I must say, so far Hector appears to be the best-travlled of the bunch! 'Cause, you know, this IS a competition.

Lived in Japan for three years and loved every minute of it! Made some great friends there and definitely remember laughing a lot, eating some great food, seeing some awesome Baseball, and partying my butt off in Rippongi.

The rest of the list:
Philippines (great people and awesome night-life!)
Hong Kong (3 times. Partied with loads of Brits, Aussies, and Scots. My favorite city!)
Singapore (Beautiful City. Great Restaurants.)
Thailand (Awesome beaches and LOTS of lovely Australian Women on holiday!)
Sri Lanka
UAE (Dubai!!!!)
Bahrain (Gulf Air Stewardesses!!!)
Diego Garcia, BIOT.
Russia (Right at the end of the Cold War when the Soviet Union was no more. I had met and worked with Russian Navy Personnel, but to go there and meet the people was a bit overwhelming. They were so gracious and welcoming, these recent enemies. I was walking by a church as a wedding was letting out and the wedding party insisted I be in all of the photos. Somewhere exists a photo of a Russian Bride sitting on my lap!)

Upon leaving Japan, I had orders to the Embassy in London and did I have some plans for Europe! However, cutbacks short-changed me of that experience just a month before departure and I've been in the States since.

My most embarrassing moment in a foreign country was in Germany. I has a gorgeous blond girlfriend who wanted to go to the beaches of southern France. Of course I said yes. I'd go. We arrived on a beautiful beach and to my suprise everyone was nude (except for me and my girl). We had only dated about 3 weeks and I never saw her nude........until then. We stripped and needless to say I was "excited" all the time we were there just seeing my new (or was it nude) girlfriend in the buff. I was throughly embarrassed by not controlling myself. The German beauty though it was funny. Sabina and I dated in Germany for 2 years and almost married. This embarrassing moment actually became a fond memory. Even though I have been married 19 wonderful years to someone else I think of Sabine when I go to the beach even to this day. It makes me smile thinking of my embarrassment all those years ago.

Did you get any "I was in the pool shrinkage" type thing going on?

[monkey tennis]

Cool story.
That's one way of breaking the ice.

I've only been to Canada and Peru. I was right at the Mexican border, but didn't go because of time constraints.
