Quote of the day: "Suppose that you were an idiot and suppose you were a member of Congress. But I repeat myself." --Mark Twain

Actually I'm something of a homebody--I don't have an intense wanderlust to see the far corners of the world (did you know that philosopher Immanuel Kant never left his hometown?). However, despite my tendency to hang out at home, I've managed to visit many places (I'm not including anything in the northeast U.S. which I'm considering my "home turf"):
