Have you ever left the country you were born in? If so, where and how many times?
I personally have been to the Bahamas and Mexico, both on vacation. My family really wants to go somewhere in Europe, but it's so expensive. >_>
I've been to Mexico twice, to Aruba once (north of south america), and to Europe once.
Oh, also
I've been to Minneapolis (8 intercourse ing hours away) like... 5 times now, i think, I've been to Bemidji once, Grand Forks once, Florida 3 times, Hawaii once, and Warroad (the original hockey town USA) once.
Can't remember other times I've been out of Canada, I think that's it. Might have been on the opposite side of Niagara as a baby.
I've been to Canada and Grand Cayman/Cozumel, Mexico/Jamaica
I have yet to go outside the US, although my may teach English in Japan for a couple years if I can't accrue the necessary funding for grad school.
Never because I'm a cheap ninny who won't spend more than $5 on a plane ticket. Nor do I want to travel in a car for more than 15 hours.
I've been to Mexico and the United States. The US somewhat extensively, Mexico in one of those fruity resorts.
I've been all over Canada, though. But yeah....I don't go too far.
Mexico, like a thousand times. Canada once, just for the falls. Europe on a cruise. Aaand... A few others I can't remember.
I love to travel :3
USA.
Only to visit family.
I've never even been out of my timezone. >_>

This.
My friends and I are planning a grand reunion/trip to Japan in two years or so. I also want to visit Europe in some way I suppose. Especially the UK.
I left it a long time ago.
Been to Kentucky thrice, Illinois once, Florida once, Conneticut once, and Puerto Rico...once, I think.
I was dragged along on all of these trips minus Florida. >_>

Same, long car trips suck hard. Ever had to drive from Wisconsin to Missouri in one day in a cramped Ford Explorer? WELL I HAVE.
I've been to Canada once
I've been to the US a few times, Dominican Republic once, and I've been to Greece once. I might go again this year but I'm not sure if I want to.
I've lived in Quebec for five days, on a school trip. We stayed at host families with another person in our class, and it was kind of exciting, if not very frustrating. One would assume the host families would have to speak English, because we were just 8th grade students and not fluent at all in the language of French. I was surprised to see that only the older brother of the family understood half the things we said. The mother didn't really get much at all, making it totally awkward.
At the same time, however, it was fun to see that the kids there were just like us. We watched two seasons of Family Guy (dubbed) and played a lot of Halo 2. In the mornings we would watch Jackie Chan Adventures (which I didn't understand, but knew enough of the episodes to know what was going on).
The only thing I don't understand from there is bagged milk. What's with that, Quebec?
I've been to Canada once. Does that really count though?

We have that in Ontario too. What's wrong with bagged milk? Carton's make it taste bad IMO.

I've lived in Manitoba for my entire life (well, since I was 8 months old or so :\) and I have never ONCE seen bagged milk.
...bagged milk?
Anyway, I've been to Canada once, only to Niagara though. And I also went on a Caribbean cruise over winter break. I went to Puerto Rico, St. Maarten, Dominica, Grenada, Bonaire, and Aruba. 'Twas fun.

It's like a pouch of milk that you keep in a pitcher. Which is really inconvenient, because you have to buy a pitcher then too. Not to mention if it leaks... it's really unnecessary.

How much does a pitcher cost? No more than $25 probably. Plus I've had the same pitcher for years. Since I can remember, I have been using bagged milk and I can say I haven't any of the bags leak in the past 5 years as I can't remember past that. I prefer bagged or cartons. Tastes better from the bag than from the carton IMO.

We just use jugs of milk. No aftertaste or anything, but I really don't drink milk anyway.
I went to Canada once, but that's about it and the only place we visited was Niagara Falls.
We stayed for the night on the Canadian side.
Shouldn't really count though. :-\
I've been to Canada...but that's it. >.> I plan on moving to New Zealand one day, though.
To many places to count
From New York City to Georgia, North Carolina, Washington DC, Arizona, and Nevada.
Future places, Minnesota, Canada... Japan?
Not yet. Too expensive...

Hah, 8 hours away? Try traveling on the road for a darn long 12 hours out from Des Moines out to Fort Collions, Colorado, or how my aunt drives for 2 days to get here from Huston, Texas to here (and yes, she stays at a motel over night).

COUNTRY
Not state.
The most is driving into then out of Canada back when I was around the age of 5 or something. My mom did it just to say we had left the US. As you can guess I don't remember this or any of the events of the vacation we had around this time.
My first experience going out of the US was a trip to Costa Rica in 2006... then we went to Mexico in 2007 and I got to go to El Salvador this past summer.
There's just something about Latin America... it's like, I don't want to go again but at the same time I feel like I really want to be there. It's freaky.
I'd probably like it better if my spanish was better, lol.
Hawaii for 3 years.

Hawaii is part of the United States you twit.

Oh, and Lebanon is a country, not a city.

I know it's a country... thats why Paris didn't make any sense...
hmm... it was referred to as the best middle-eastern country, or at least, the most westernized, the most beautiful, etc before the civil war...
I am a bit jealous D:
