My nephew asked for a list of the countries I've been to so he could find them on a map, so I made the list and felt very proud of myself for being fairly successful in my attempt to see the world. I've been to 18 countries. But then today I found this cool program that puts all your visited countries on a bloggable map in red, and now I'm not so proud. 18 countries is only 8% of the world. It looks like I've been just sitting around my whole life, not traveling obviously so this map wouldn't be mostly white. So who wants to go to Tanzania with me?

THAT is an accomplishment. Notice where I haven't bothered to go yet. Maine and Vermont are next on the list. It's just so freaking far up there. That's like a 4-day drive.

That's funny -- on our way to Colorado on Southwest last month, the four people in my party did the same thing using their in-flight napkins (with the map of the US) and a marker, and compared them. We got our whole section of the airplane talking about US geography...
