What's the furthest you've ever been from home? Where would you go if you could?

I've been thinking about travel lately. A more modest lifestyle makes international travel difficult. But if you long to get out and about, there are places you can see in your own country and on a budget.
When I travelled for work, I went to New Delhi, India. That's the furthest I have been from Dallas, Texas. If I could go anywhere, it would probably be the Bahamas. Any Caribbean island would do, LOL!
Where is the furthest you've travelled from home, where was your home at the time, and where would you go if you could go anywhere, without time or money as considerations?

Oh, forgot to answer your actual question! I've actually travelled all the way around the world from my home in Florida. From Florida, heading west, the stops were: California; Hawaii; Fiji; Australia; Beijing; New Dehli; Israel; France; England; New York; and finally back to Florida. So probably New Dehli would have been the farthest point for me as well!

Growing up in south Florida, I used to visit the Bahamas pretty much on a weekly basis, and often visited the Caribbean islands as well. That was back in the good old days when it was easier to travel. No need for passports back then, you just showed them your drivers license when you arrived on an island!

@Marcyaz It was work-related, so it wasn't quite as fun as I had hoped it would be, but I did get to see some amazing places!

I imagine you were able to get out and see something of the different countries.

I have been many places in the US from New York to California, Minnesota to Ohio and Florid through the South and up North and loved Wyoming the most. I would love to go back there in the summer time. I have never been out of the US and have no plans to do so.

I remember certain things about each State I have been through or stayed or lived at and each has something fabulous. I prefer the look of the Southwest rather than the look of the Midwest, just my own personal preference.

Sounds like a lot of awesome places! My "states I've visited" map looks like a smile starting with California, sweeping down through the south and then back up the east coast to Virginia. I need to see more of the midwest, I think. :)

Hawaii - that was far enough from the east coast for me.

@Marilynda1225 My former husband was stationed there for two years about 6 weeks after we got married. We had to live off base and it was super expensive.

I've always wanted to go to Hawaii but so far haven't had the opportunity

I've been to Canada once, up and down the East Coast of the States and in the Midwest. I used to collect postcards from every state. I would like to visit England, Ireland and even the Netherlands. (Did I spell that right, it looks wrong but not popping up red.) I always wanted to visit St. Petersburg as well. Oh, Prince Edward Islands and the Caribbean. Guess I've got to get that passport. lol

Sounds like you've seen quite a few sights and I hope you get to see more. Growing up in Texas, I really enjoyed the maritime provinces in Canada. I haven't been further north than Virginia on the east coast, with the exception of a few airline connections. It's beautiful up there!

The only places I have been to is Florida, New York, New Jersey, and parts of TN. I hope someday to visit Paris. I live in North Carolina.
