The DU Lounge
Showing Original Post only (View all)Have you ever traveled beyond the continental United States? [View all]
I saw a couple of DUers mention that they'd never "left the mainland" in another thread and I assumed that would put them in the minority, but figured I'd ask here in the Lounge whether you've traveled abroad in your lifetime. My wife and I have on many occasions, but we're childless and had the wanderlust in our 30s and 40s.
How many times have you traveled outside the continental United States?

I had neighbors who had a gazillion maple trees and, trust me, it's a nasty, tedious, sticky, cold job
