Blogging My Autobiography - Chapter 27

I’ve been everywhere, man, I’ve been everywhere.

In the course of vacations and business trips I have visited 20 countries, all 50 states, every major metropolitan area (and some not so major) in the US and Canada and not nearly as many national parks as I would like, but working on that one. Favorite city in the entire world, that would be Denver Metro of course.

There are so many others. Right now I have 235 total visited on my list but it’s not complete. I suspect that it will reach close to 500 when I am done.
Here is the full list of favorites and a map:

1. Tokyo, Japan


2. London, England


3. Singapore, Singapore


4. Sydney, Australia


5. Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada


6. Monte-Carlo, Monaco


7. San Francisco, CA, USA


8. New York City, NY, USA


9. Amsterdam, The Netherlands


10. Copenhagen, Denmark

There is something interesting in every city that I have visited over the years, even in West Texas. It was the sign that said, “Amarillo, Where the West Never Dies.” The LL in Amarillo were a pair of cowboy boots. Travel has expanded my horizons greatly. I still want to go to Africa, The Holy Land and see the Pyramids. Venice and Rome are on the list as well. If I don’t make it, well, I can read, can’t I?
