Some of these are technically not countries (territories) but here goes (I’ve never actually written this list down.

- U.S. (AZ, CO, CT, FL, ID, IL, IN, IA, MA, MI, MT, NV, NY, PA, PR, TX, WA) - unfortunately, it doesn’t look like I’ll be visiting any more states for at least three years, unless it’s for work.

- Mexico* (Mexico City & Cancun area resorts: Cabo San Lucas resort this January)

- The Bahamas
- Cayman Islands
- Turks and Caicos
- Dominican Republic*

- Netherlands*
- Belgium*
- Luxembourg*
- France*
- Spain*
- Madeira (technically Portugal)

*Countries my kids (5 & 3) have been to.

Tentatively planning to add Japan in March, and may be looking to take 1-2 months leave next year to add a couple countries to the list.

Favourite Countries: Canada (from Vancouver Island to Newfoundland, we live in a beautiful country with such a varied landscape - too bad it costs a fortune to travel here) Scotland, Iceland, Spain & Madeira (I got engaged here, so it holds a special place).

Favourite Cities: TOR, MTL, QC, HFX, VAN, VIC, NYC, CHI, BOS, Mexico City, London, Ghent, Bruges, Maastricht, Amsterdam, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Paris, Nice, Cannes, Vienna, Salzburg, Sevilla, Barcelona, Malaga, Granada, Cape Town

Now I am Googling flights.

Other countries where I have seen a lot, but I won't break down the specific places or it will take too long:

Oceana/South Pacific:
- Australia
- New Zealand
- Vanuatu
- Fiji
- New Caledonia

Asia
- Thailand
- Malaysia (both mainland and Borneo)
- Singapore
- Laos

- Indonesia

Europe

Latin America

- Ecuador & Galapagos Islands
- Peru
- Bolivia

I think that is all of them. There are a couple I don't count, for instance I have technically been to Jamaica but it was a day excursion on a cruise, so I feel that an organized excursion like that to one activity and then back doesn't really count as going to a country.

In terms of favourite it is difficult to pick, but the 5 days I spent in Vanuatu were pretty amazing. Things operate a bit different there with some looser rules, so I got to literally ride a sea turtle when scuba diving amongst WW2 wrecks, stand on the edge of an erupting volcano as it threw lava up onto the other side of the rim (my local guide assured me it was safe as he was watching the steam to see how the wind was blowing).
