I know Hartsfield like the back of my hand... I loose people in the crowds because they insist on reading the signs instead of just following me. They've made some very nice upgrades to that airport recently though.

Should I add provinces? If so, I've been to most of them (thinking off top of head), but not Nunavit or Yukon. Have been to ONT, PEI, Manitoba, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Québec, I think that's all of 'em.

NCC1701J! I think you take the prize!

So, how was West Virginia? :D

Now that I have 4 kids....back and forth between RI and NY is enough.

I am eager to check out Mexico and Central/South America next. I am trying to talk my Mother into coming with me to Newfoundland again. I'd love to see it as an adult. It was a third world nation when she was growing up there. She never wants to go back,. so its a tough sell...
