What was the first time you went out of the state? First time on a plane? First time out of the country? First time off the continent?

I am a Chinese and the first time I went out of my country was when I was 26 years old, I went to Belgium for study and this might change my life permanently. Regarding my first time on a plane, when I was in primary school, I got a reward as excellent students to take a military plane to have a sightseeing of my city. It was really a very small plane. I remembered that it could only take 4 or 5 people.

First time out of state had to be when I was 6 years old went to Pennslyvania from New York. First time on a plane was when I was 19 1/2 I went to Puerto Rico from New York by myself to visit my uncle. The first time I left the country was on a cruise to the Bahamas when I was turning 39 years old. I have never left the continent.

For me it was when I was 17. I flew for the first time to New York City to visit a friend. Its odd to think that was my first flight. within the last 10 years I've flown so may times I can't keep track. I've never been out of the country though. That's my next goal. I don't count any bordering states as traveling out of state. If I did I'd have to say IL.

I was born in a county in the South East of England. I lived near the neighboring county and London so I went out of my county many times when I was a young child. The first trip I did out of my home country was by ferry and train. It was to France when I was a young child. The first time I went on a plane was when I was 14 years old. It was June 1987 and I flew from London to Athens. The first time I went another continent was when I was 18 to 19 years old. I went to Africa and the Caribbean in 1991.
