49 states and Guam. I haven't been to Alaska. A girl friend and I used to get in the car and drive until half our money was gone and then back home. Made for some fun times.
How many U.S. states have you visited?

Twenty, give or take. Plus three of Canada's eastern provinces and a couple of places in Mexico. Just to cover the major components of North America.

I didn't read all the replies but I will later on tonight since I have to stay up until wee hours of the morning so I can work the next 3 nights but.....
I've been in 29 states.
The year I turned 29 my boyfriend and I did what we dubbed the national lampoon vacation. We started out in Reading Pa and did a whole loop around the states in 10 or 12 days. I really had a blast. We couldn't stay long at the places we visited but I sure got a good taste of America that year.
We saw the badlands, needle's eye national park, yellow stone, devil's tower, Yosemite park, the salt lake, Mount Rushmore, reno, vegas, carson city, Hoover dam to name a few sites. I had a blast.
We rented a T-bird and either pitched a tent or rented a room out a few times.

Hmmm not that many.
I'm from NY and FL
Been to Vegas so Nevada
Went to a wedding in North Carolina and summer camp
Took weekend trips when I lived in NY - jersey, PA, CT, field trips to DC
Went to summer camp in Maine one year
Drive through other states but I am at 9
Best state ever: NY. Wish I still lived there. Miami is a cesspool

Me too! They wouldn't so happen to be from Ohio, would they? Not like it's just Ohioans that are nicely nuts like that...

OHIO!
The Buckeye State. Birthplace of many: entertainers Bob Hope, Fred Willard, Paul Neuman *swoon* and more; space and science includes Thomas Edison, Neil Armstrong, John Glenn; a ton of presidents (heck, Taft was 350# all on his own); plenty of writers...and me.
It's amazing how many comics have come out of there - then again, I guess you have to have a sense of humor when pundits call you "the mistake on the lake". No, she's from PA. She's doing it to raise money for the Barber Center.

He was born in England. Came here as a child with his parents.

I have been to 10, well including MN where I live would be 11. Also I do not count the states I have passed thru when I drove to NY and back few years back from MN, because honestly I do not even remember what they were.

Charlie it was much easier to remember the names of the states prior to Jefferson making the Louisiana Purchase. But we still can't even remember what the names are of the Original Thirteen States that signed the Constitution. But most Americans can remember Massachusetts because the Pilgrims landed here and started it all. And they remember it because of Thanksgiving.
But at one time if you named a state, I could tell you the capital. Now the brain has turned to mush in my age of becoming a dotty old lady. So it takes a minutes or two for me to remember now. BTW, Massachusetts is the only state where the biggest city of the state is also the capital.

Back in those days, I'll bet you could rattle them off in a flash! Then Jefferson came along and screwed up everything.

States you can drive through in two hours don't count
Or states you can drive through in 30 minutes...

This happened a long time after Jefferson but Honolulu is the largest city and the capital of Hawaii.
