Not counting the US:

Canada
Mexico

If airport stopovers count, then Italy and Greece get added, though I never even got off the plane in Athens. I could see the Parthenon from the window, though.

I wonder why that would be?
Because those other countries usually aren't American enough.

But give them time, soon everywhere will be under our cultural sway.

I've been to Spain, Italy, New Zealand and Canada, and had an unplanned stop in Geneva for a few hours so I guess I can count Switzerland too. Australia is in the plans, but probably not until we retire so we can spend 2-3 weeks or so on the trip.

cheers,

You forgot the option Zero - if I'm feeling REALLY ambitious, I might leave the house!

Never been to another country, only been to two other states... retreating to my Corner of Lameness...

Counting the one I live in, 2 (US and Canada). I don't even have a passport.

I've only even left this TIME ZONE four or five times in my life -- mostly to go to San Francisco, once to go to Albuquerque. I'm not exactly a world traveler.
