In the states: home bases in Chicago and Charlotte. Being a Chicagoan implies having stayed in Indiana, Michigan and Wisconsin. Being a Charlottean implies having stayed in South Carolina at some point. Traveled to Boston, New York, Virginia, DC, all around central coastal California, parts of Mississippi, Alabama and Tennessee, Atlanta and pre-Katrina New Orleans.
Abroad: Mexico. Guadalajara and surrounding towns/cities, beach towns Puerto Vallarta, Melaque and Barra de Navidad, and home base down there is usually foot-of-the-mountain town Techaluta de Montenegro.

From New England and the Midwest.
In the US - I've been pretty much everywhere other than the pacific northwest. Grandparents lived in Mississippi - every year we drove down from CT, hitting tourist sights in every state along the way.
Overseas - spent 3.5 years living on a sailboat with my husband. We circumnavigated, visiting over 35 countries along the way including Bermuda, most of the Eastern Caribbean, Venezuela, Panama, Ecuador, Frency Poly, Tonga, NZ, Vanuatu, Australia, Indo, Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, India, the BIOT, Seychelles, Madagascar, Mozambique, South Africa, St. Helena, Ascension, and back home through the Caribe.
I have also been to Canada, Mexico, Belize, parts of western Europe, French Polynesia, Fiji, Australia, Puerto Rico, St. Croix and Ghana on other trips. So yeah, I'm a huge fan of vaccines.
US: CA, Chicago, ID, UT, ...ok all over US, Fav: is Hawaii (also lived for a yr) and St. John *sigh* want to go back
All over Germany, Italy, Israel (FAV!), Canada, Jamaica ..... next place to go with DH, AFRICA...can't wait!!

Europe: UK, France, Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, Italy, Hungary
Asia: Singapore, Hong Kong, China
Latin America/Caribbean: Mexico, Costa Rica, Bahamas, Grand Cayman, Jamaica, St. Thomas
Started TTC 05.08
Me: Stage II endo, borderline high FSH
DH: perfect
1 lap, 5 IUIs = 4 BFNs and 1 c/p
2 IVFs, 2 FETs = 1 BFN, 1 c/p, 1 ectopic and finally a sticky BFP in May 2011!
1 FET in Aug 2013 = BFP!
It was, but it pretty much ruined us for real life. We can't wait until the bank account is refilled enough to do it again. It will be a completely different experience with kids on board.
What an awesome thing to do! Did you write about your travels anywhere? I would love to read about it!

So as you can see I've been pretty much all the way up and down the East coast of North America, but thats the extent of it. I really want to get to the West Coast and to Europe.
From: Saskatchewan/Alberta border. In Canada, I've been to all over BC, Sask, Alberta, and Toronto, Ont.
Haven't been to a whole lot, all over Montana, and a bit of California, and of course Vegas!!
Tropical places: Jamaica, Dominican
Places that I would LOVE to go:
Vermont: I want to live there, don't know why... maybe the pretty trees, historic houses and maple syrup.
Nashville: I need to go there, was planning on a trip before we had kids... oops.
PEI, New Brunswick, Newfoundland: I hope to someday explore the other side of Canada.
I did. I kept a blog religiously for almost 4 years. Which turned out to be great because it made us take so many more photos than we would have otherwise and we met so many great people along the way because they had read our stuff and got in contact with us.
There are a lot of posts, too many to read through sequentially, but they are sortable by destination on the right hand side of the page.
Our more hair raising adventures are collected here:

Greece, Puerto Rico, Italy and most of the states on the east side of the US as well as Las Vegas, NV and Seattle, WA.

BFP #2 08/09/12, M/C 08/10/12
BFP #3 10/30/12, EDD 07/11/12...please stick!
I hope you can too. It was such an amazing experience for us to do together as a couple. I can't wait to do it as a family.
My biggest pieces of advice for extended international travel (non-boat related, boat stuff is a whole other ball of wax) are:
- get a Capital One Credit card - international fee is waived and they were pretty quick (after a few misfires early on) to understand that our cards would be used in a lot of different places,
- make someone at home a Power of Attorney on one of your accounts,
- get a USAA account if you qualify - free ATM withdraws anywhere up to a certain number a month (we almost never had to exchange money because of this) and you can link up other accounts to it so it makes it super easy to manage your funds from afar,
- get the big passport with all the extra pages - getting a refill done overseas is a hassle,
- head for the lower cost of living places - your dollar goes further and you can live really well on very little, and
- no matter where you are, by eating and shopping where the locals eat and shop you can really stretch your budget.
I live in California.
DH and I have been to too many states for me to list but a general idea: road trips up the coast from Key West to New York City, around New England, from San Diego to Seattle and around the western/south western states.
With my girlfriends I've been to Chicago, NYC, Miami, San Francisco and Vegas (many times).
A few months ago DH and I and some friends went to Germany and Austria and as a child my family would go to my Grandma's vacation house on the gulf in Baja.
From Atlanta. But I have lived in Phoenix and Currently live in Charlotte.
