13. North: Toronto. South: Big Island of Hawai'i
could be either Captain Cook on the Kona side or near Lava Tree State Monument on the Hilo side; both are practically at the same longitude.

Note that the southernmost point in the U.S. is not Key West, as often (mis)stated, but ka Lae (South Point) at the southern tip of Big Island.

53. what happened was we had to get on a bus to get out of the pier area
The Colombian army or whatever they were got on our bus with rifles and went up and down the aisle before they'd let us out of the pier area and into the city. Then the army was all over the city with the same attitudes. I was VERY dark at the time and they made me speak to make sure I was American - who knows?

We turned around went back (all single women at the time) and when we got back to the pier they searched our purses and hassled us (beleive it or not) over a tampon one of the girls had in her purse. They were being assholes and giving her a hard time in Spanish acting like they didn't know what it was. She finally pointed to her groin area making a motion that it's inserted LOL.. they gave it back and moved us along. They were being assholes because they could.

I have no desire to ever go back to that country.

(These are places where I've actually had my feet on the ground -- or, in the case of Glacier Bay, on the deck of a ship. While on airplanes, I've crossed the Arctic Circle on a transatlantic flight at least once.)
