I'll start. The idea is you name the place and a fellow MNer has to say if they've been there. However, you don't have to wait until you've been somewhere to post. Post your places and you'll meet the MNers who've been there. You can post 1-3 places (random numbers).

I've been to:

Rwanda
The Whisundays
Cathedral Grove (Vancouver Island)

@Yolo12345 I’ve been to Lviv Ukraine - it was love at first sight

I don’t think anyone mentioned yet Kyiv Ukraine although I’m sure some MN’ers will have been there

I’ve also been to Crimea, Donetsk, Mariupol, Bakhmut and Olenivka - Ukraine although currently some are occupied by Russia. I grew up there and never thought these places would be spoken about in the in the world news 😞

Layovers count @Andylion

Otherwise I haven't been to a few places I 'count'.

Not for the purposes of life, but for the purposes of this thread. Grin

@cheapskatemum Ohio! Might be the first mention here! Montana was gorgeous and part of a road trip from Alberta. Drove down through Montana, Idaho, Washington, back up to Canada, through Vancouver, the Okanagan, the Rockies, and finishing in Alberta.
@Andylion YVR here, so easy west coast and pacific travel. 😁
@yodaforpresident sounds lovely! There's so much of CA I want to explore!

And I completely forgot Denver, Colorado for my USA list...🤦‍♀️

Furries · 07/04/2023 02:35

Some places have been claimed a few times already, so won’t re-list them. Was slightly annoyed to get a couple of pages from the end to find that someone has claimed Bimini 🤣. I was going to also add Chalks Airlines (the seaplanes used in George Michael’s Careless Whisper video), but I’d imagine the Bimini poster used them too.

I don’t think I’ll be winning any prizes with these:

Colonia Tovar
Fitzroy Island
Reethi Rah

Have also done a road trip in a car that was previously driven by Brad and Angelina.

MadamMaltesers · 07/04/2023 02:46

How about crapping on posts somewhere else? This is a lovely and fun thread. 🥰

Haha no! I lived in the US and have been to 25/50 states so I’ve been to many more places than the ones you listed, but I do love the Pacific Northwest.

Ahhhh... how was all the moving place to place? Any favourites? (And glad I don't have to look over my shoulder, btw).🤣
