Only one...Canada. Traveled throughout the U.S. only. Not a big travel nut. Hubby has been to St. Lucia, The Bahamas, , St. Croix, and St. Thomas. I'm probably missing some other places he has visited.

He is in the process of planning us a cruise....I'm not excited about it as that is too much water for me....

Interesting topic Fern!

Hola!!!!

Mexico
Belize
Honduras
El Salvador


RoundTop, Tejas in Oct, 2007!! (well, they think it's nigh-on to another country!!)

Thinking China in 2008.

[sakigt]

China
Argentina
Venezuela

Most definitely a priority. I started at 22 and just turned 24 a week ago.

[threebeansalad]

Canada (Including Quebec and Vancouver, but not much in the middle!)
Dominican Republic
St. Thomas and St. John
Germany
Spain
Czech Republic
Norway
Ukraine

Traveling is a priority for me and hope to do more in the future! My favorite trip was Ukraine, but Norway was the most beautiful country I've visited.

In the US, I'd like to spend more time exploring CA, OR and UT.

[ktmarvels]

Spain
England
France
Germany
Italy
Vatican City
Swtizerland
Costa Rica
Canada
Mexico (but none of the 'fun/touristy' spots)

I love travelling, most of that was done a couple of years ago on a college study abroad where I was based in Spain. Unfortunately with DH in the navy and not having a lot of free time I doubt we'll get to go on many traveling vacations for a while...although I'm keeping my fingers crossed that he'll get stationed in a fun spot overseas that I can visit.

I missed the second part of the question about whether it is a priority...I would say it was for me when I was single, but DH doesn't really love to travel so now it's not such a big priority. I also agree with Paul there is an awful lot to see right here at home...

[nanamom]

i can't afford to travel abroad, I have trouble affording the bit of traveling we do in the states. Of course to some people reading this the states are abroad aren't they! When I was in high school I was able to go to France and England for a week or so. I have been to Canada about 27 years ago. Other than that nothing. DH has traveled extensively for his former jobs. We hope to take a trip abroad when DS2 is a young teen.

I didn't address this either. Yes, travel is absolutely a priority. I think there is nothing that provides the education that one gets from travel, whether domestic or international.

And I also agree that there is so much to see in the US. People often jet off to Paris or London or Rome when they have barely seen their own country. I want to see the foreign places, and I'm sure we will over time, but the past couple of years we've really been enjoying the US travel we've done: Anaheim, San Francisco, Sequoia Natl Park, Vegas, Boston, Stowe, DC and more. This summer, we are spending 2 weeks touring New Hampshire and are really looking forward to that.

I love travelling but haven't had a chance for a long time. Born in hawaii so all over the US was cool, Canada, Bahamas, Mexico, Japan, China, Korea, Switzerland, with Greece next up this summer probably.

[Jewelfine]

Travel is definately something I am passionate about. In fact it is part of the reason we save our money so much!
Been to Europe, Asia, Australia, Canada (of course I live there) throughout the USA and South America.
Many cruises too. but do them economically.

I missed part two as well.

Yes, I consider travel a necessity for myself as I'm always ready with my bags packed ready to roam!! Hubster could care less if he ever goes anywhere, but have been getting him out and about more lately than ever before. In the last two years he's made it to Missouri and Mississippi, and this year we'll probably go as a family to New Orleans and I'm going to Texas in October. Don't get to go as often as I'd like, but I do manage to squeeze a bit of the ol' travel juice out of our minimalist budget to hit a few destinations. There are good reasons to pinch those pennies and new vistas are one of them!

[gackle]

Canada, Mexico, England, and Haiti. I've heard Costa Rica is beautiful. Love to travel, would do it more if I could, but other financial matters take priority.

I don't think the US lets their citizens travel to Cuba

US citizens who can prove they have family in Cuba are allowed limited visits to Cuba.

My brother went to Cuba about 6 or 7 years ago - he's a U.S. citizen and doesn't have any relatives there. He connected to Havana through Cancun. The customs officials in Cuba don't stamp your passport. They give you a piece of paper so U.S. officials can't see that you went to Cuba.

[gackle]

Historically, people have been able to travel to Havana through Toronto and/or Montreal as well as Mexico. I tried searching for flights from both but couldn't find any though.
