Someone in one of our recent company meetings mentioned they'd been to 5 of 7 continents as their "something unusual about themselves" intro. Thought it would be an interesting topic here....

So how many have you been to? There are 7 -N.America,S. America, Europe, Asia, Africa, Australia, Antarctica. Which ones are you missing? I'm missing Antarctica, Africa and Australia....

I have been to 4 Julian, but not traveled at all in Asia...just the airport and hotel area, although I have covered Narita and Osaka a little, it isn't like getting out in the country and seeing it like you have in India.

I was looking at various maps and some put the Caribbean in South America, some in North....so depending on which you chose...that might increase one's #! Yeah...Antarctica is unlikely for me too! I'd would love to go to both Africa and Australia!

I was in Venezuela in the early 70s....not been back since for some reason! LOL

2 continents, US and Australia. You know what would be cool, take our jet boats up one of those river cruises in Europe. I'll have to put that on the list!!

Planning some retirement work in Chile so I will have to visit there beforehand in the next few years to check it out. That will cross SA off my list. Cam.

5 continents with only Australia and Antarctica to go. To be realistic, Antarctica is not going to happen, but hopefully Australia. Trouble would be getting the boat there, that is a long boat ride!! :winkingthumbsup"

3 continents and 38 States. All of the continents (other than North America) were traveled to by water while I was serving on a 378 foot Coast Guard Cutter stationed out of Honolulu. Also included is multiple south pacific islands.

During my 22 years of active duty in the US Army I served and went to 6 of them including North America. the only one I was lucky enough to miss was Antarctica. Good memories from all (Note some not so good ones as well)

Five, unless Aruba counts as South America for being 20 miles off of Venezuela. In that case, six.

Otherwise, missing South America and Antarctica. Seen some pretty amazing sites (Maasai Mara Kenya, temples in Thailand, DMZ in Korea) and some pretty phenomenally awful places (Bangladesh, Iraq in 2003) and many in between.

Lately, I just prefer my vacations with a deep cooler, shallow anchor, fuel in the tank, and nothing in the impeller.
