24. The short version is continents.
Five for me. I was planning to set foot in South America, but postponed it due to brownshirts screeching about killing folk to cancel the "election". Didn't want to lose money on an air ticket. And I'll give Antarctica a skip.

37. Just barely went out of the US
to Edmundston, New Brunswick Canada back during my freshman year of high school. I was on the cross country ski team, and we had a two day long competition in Fort Kent or Madawaska, Maine (I can't remember where). There was no place to stay in that town, so we had to cross the border and stay in a hotel in Edmunston. We had a foreign exchange student on the bus with us too, so this held us up a lot at the border.

Of course, some of the seniors who were 18 took advantage of the 18+ drinking age in Canada. They went to some bars when they weren't supposed too. Our school never allowed any school trips to Canada after that.
