    6: US, Mexico, Canada, France, England (briefly), Spain (briefly), (and Texas :D ). Will add Switzerland this summer and hopefully Italy while I'm in the neighborhood.

    That I can remember:

    North and Central America:

    Canada
    US
    Mexico
    Guatemala
    Nicaragua
    Costa Rica
    Belize
    Honduras
    El Salvador
    Panama
    Jamaica
    Bahamas
    Puerto Rico
    US Virgin Isl

    Europe:

    England
    Scotland
    Ireland
    Wales
    France
    Italy
    Greece
    Turkey
    Holland

    Asia:

    Japan
    India
    Thailand

    Africa:

    Morocco

    All personal trips...i do no business travel!

    Still haven't been to South America (trip cancelled two years ago...or Australia (seems so far...)..

    I suppose I could count a few more countries through which I was carried about as a tot...but I don't have any memories of those.

    For those who've *only* been to the USA -- remember the Excited States is a huge and diverse country. A road trip from Houston to NewYork would probably 'earn' you eight or nine countries on this list if a similar journey were taken in Europe!

    You example is more off base since Scotland doesn't field its own Olympic team but Puerto Rico, US Virgin Islands, Guam and US Samoa all field their own Olympic teams.

    Hong Kong fields its own Olympic team has its own flag, money and parliament. You need a visa to travel from Hong Kong to China and you get a seperate stamp on your passport. Hong Kong under those standards is much more a separate country than Scotland or even many European countries.

    Considering I've barely been out of Texas to go visit anywhere else in the US, I'm going to have to admit to being a huge loser and say that I've never been out of the US even though I could have at least driven down to Mexico about a zillion times.

    And Texas has it's own legislature.

    What do you call the UK?

    Do N. Ireland, Wales or Scotland have ambassadors to England? To any other countires at all?


    IMO, the UK situation would be very much like Texas within the Uinted States IF individual States had much more legislative power.

    Then Texas is a country too, except Uncle Sam has something to say in Texas.

    BTW, all the European countries dont count. They are too close to each other. All of them just count as one country.
