slo’s TUESDAY 5/20 poll - Below Average, Average or Above Average (Traveling)

[ronandannette]

Above average. The list is very heavy on NYC and state!

Yes, I thought the same thing. We’re way above average if you factor in all the beautiful places we’ve seen but from this list, 6 of our 9 were experienced on a single trip to Europe. We have no plans to ever visit Asia or Australia and although we’ve been to 12 states (not NY) we have no immediate plans to return.

 

[NannyBeBe]

I've been to six -- Colosseum, Empire State Building, Times Square, St. Peter's, Grand Canyon, and the Las Vegas Strip. The only one on the list that I would like to see is Niagara Falls.

 

[Kooks and Bay Bay]

Been to 10 and several of those have been more than once.

 

[Moliphino]

Above average. I've been to a lot of the European ones plus Vegas. I think we might've walked through a bit of Central Park one time, too.

 

[CynBeth]

18!!!

 

[White Cat]

I question the list. If you’ve been to NYC you’ve most likely been to 4.

 

[Meriweather]

I question the list. If you’ve been to NYC you’ve most likely been to 4.

True.....and I haven't been. West coast girl here......but we do travel a lot, just not seeing those places.

 

[Skippy918]

I grew up in NYC and have been to those sites multiple times.

 

[disneychrista]

Two. The Golden Gate Bridge many times and the Las Vegas Strip. Honestly many of those are not things I have a lot of interest in seeing/going to.

 

[pezgirlroy]

21. Been lucky to do a lot of traveling

 

[CdnCarrie]

I've seen 15. Have you not been to NYC?

 

[Dan Murphy]

Have you not been to NYC?

Who?

 

[pezgirlroy]

[mikeuno]

Blessed to have been to 10 on the list

 

[CdnCarrie]

Ahh, I see.

I do know a number of US residents who have not been to New York,

 

[LilyWDW]

10, thanks to trips to NYC and Europe in college. Spent Winter break one year traveling to multiple countries in Europe with a friend and her family.

 

[KPeterso]

Above average - I have been to 8 of the places. Part of it is having been to NY several times and to London twice. And those would be where all the places are located. NY - Niagara Falls, Empire State Building, Times Square, and Statue of Liberty. England - Stonehenge, Big Ben, Buckingham Palace, and Tower Bridge.

Like someone else mentioned, I do think the list is a bit skewed as I really have not been out of the country other than Canada and Mexico (and of course England). The only other non-US location is Singapore, but I was a super young child and do not remember much about it.

 

[jimmymc]

16 for me. NYC, London, and Paris each have multiple, so that checks off a lot of them. I've also seen Mt Fuji from a distance, but I haven't been near the base, so I don't count that.

 

[Micca]

12 by my count. I didn't count a couple like Empire State building and Central Park--I've "seen' them, walked by them, but haven't spent any time there.

Headed to the UK later this year, I'll knock a couple more off the list
