I'm glad one of our trips worked out. Our trip turned into a bust Sunday. I was going to post on it but I thought I'm negative enough these days.
DC is a symptom, not the cause. The cause is basic voter stupidity and economic ignorance.

Went out there last year for a visit. It's the most beautiful place I've ever seen. Mountains on one side, bay with Dark blue water that makes the waves stark white, on the other. Almost a constant 65 degrees. Absolutely beautiful from 10am to 5pm after that, foggy, Really foggy. Lol Congrats to your son. DLI School is one of the best schools in all the military.

We're headed to Seattle Friday, and then an Alaskan cruise the next week, and then a tour of WA the following week.
The wife likes cruises. This will be my 49th state (Alaska).

North Dakota.
I was missing most of the NE states but when we went to Boston I caught them all. I'm not sure why I'd make an effort to visit ND though. I'm too far gone.

I actually was on a tarmac sitting in a hot as hell C-130 for 8 hours in HI. I still do not count it as I did not step foot on the ground. We'll probably vacation in HI at some point. Maybe next year. I have no reason to go to SD. Not even to make it 50. I've been to ND and two things stood out. One, there are not a lot of trees. Two the folks there like chocolate covered potato chips. The family I'm friends with sends a box of chocolate covered potato chips every Xmas. I have never tried them. I politely thank them and say "They are delicious". The people I give them to do say they are delicious, so I'm covered. I'm currently at 68 countries. Next year 5 new ones. India being the top dog. My goal is to get to 100. The plan is to end the new countries with Easter Island. Then I'm fine with flights from Singapore - Japan - S. Korea - Thailand - Italy until I cash in my chips someday.

Nothing wrong with visiting the US states AND seeing other nations. I've done both and can say I really enjoy the US. Michigan is one of the best states I've been to. Thinking about my next trip for 2020 and may travel abroad.
