fifty nifty part 4

As indicated in previous posts I want to go to all 50 states before I'm 35 (http://averagingstandard.blogspot.com/2010/12/fifty-nifty-united-states.html), well actually 49 because I have absolutely no desire to go to Texas (http://averagingstandard.blogspot.com/2011/07/fifty-nifty-part-3.html), it's safe to say that I hate hate hate Texas. Well in 10 days I'm meeting up with Dewberry in Miami, so I can cross Florida off my list, while trying to book flights I didn't rule out flights that had a stop in them, just in case the connecting flight was in a new state, well that didn't work because all the connecting flights were in states I've already been to, so I'm flying direct, no big. Also, my brother Buck Cherry is getting married in April, he lives in Oklahoma but we all know I've been there, (I have a point I promise), while looking for flights down there I was hoping to find a direct flight, seeing as we'll only be there for a weekend I want to get down there ASAP. However, all direct flights were too expensive and my connecting flight is in Texas.

fifty nifty - part 2

These are the states I've been in, if gas weren't so expensive I might plan a road trip out west for Labor Day weekend to hit up some more states, but doubt it's going down anytime soon, we'lll see.

fifty nifty united states

Thus far I have been in 15 states, it is now my goal to see the other 35 by the time I am 35 years old. A friend told me that was unrealistic...but that just adds fuel to the fire :) I figure I can knock off a few of those little states on the East Coast with one vacation, and Hawaii with my honeymoon. Alaska, I'll have to figure out something for that one.
