Sounds like dear uli is a well-traveled Lady. I'll guess 42.

And now I'm going to break out the road atlas and see how many I've visited or passed through.

Time for a hint. Scarecrow, I have been to one state close to you 14 times or close to that anyway. Sorry it wasn't Nebraska. At The Knighty NI, don't I wish. Don't ask me how many times I have been to Nevada....

Some observers say they are not independent countries only small ones. But for this purpose I'm counting UK as 4 countries, England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland.


I thought the U in UK was for United. What about the Channel Islands and the Isle of Man?

Using Chris' rules, I'm going to say 25.

OK, as it's my birthday today, I'll be kind to you all, and say that I haven't travelled outside Europe. Secondly based upon that, if anyone wants to change their guess I will accept it.
