My list is really pathetic,

Mexico
Bahamas
Dominican Republic

Not as pathetic as mine.

Disneyland,Paris.Does that count? First and last time I will ever fly.

I don't fly,I hate large ships and I will never get in that tunnel. The only mode of travel I think I could have got on with is no longer an option,a hovercraft.

Mine don't count since I went on my Uncle's business, but:

Korea
Saudi Arabia
Iraq
Germany

And Canada a few times as a kid, but a foreign country that's barely a 5 hour drive away and where they speak the same language doesn't really count either.

In all my years I've never seen the like. It has to be more than a hundred sea miles and he brings us up on his tail. That's seamanship, Mr. Pullings. My God, that's seamanship!

That Farrow bloke you executed today, are you sure he's dead?
Well I chopped his head off, that usually does the trick.
Yes, don't get clever with me Baldrick. I just thought you might have lopped off a leg or something by mistake.
No, the thing I chopped off had a nose.

I think that's all of them.

I never been to the Middle East or Africa unless you count a 4 hours layover in Abu Dhabi where I never left the airport.

I would love to go to South Africa or to Africa on a Safari trip.

I wanted to go to Egypt to see the Pyramids and never got around to it but now that no longer seems safe to do so.

6 years ago I had the opportunity to go deep sea diving in the Red Sea but I didn't go.

A friend of mine says you can sign up on the National Geographic ship and go to the South Pole... brrrr... that sounds cold!

Have you actually been on a hovercraft? I've not (at least not since I was old enough to remember) but the impression I got from my parents was that crossing the Channel on them could be awful. Far worse than ferries at any rate.

I don't consider myself particularly well travelled. Done all of Western Europe, and various bits of North America including five months in Montreal. Never been to Africa, South America or Asia.

I've never been outside of the US. I've been as far west as Big Bend in TX and as far north as Maine, but have a lot of states I really want to see, as well as countries I want to see.
I *really* want to see Europe, in a long term car tour kind of way. A Canada/Alaska trip would be awesome, but I want to drive.

No, not all. It's like a jetski with 500 people on it. It failed because in terms of passenger comfort, being fired in a trebuchet to France would have been preferable.

Oh, I forgot Hong Kong.

It wasn't part of China when I first started going there.
