My friend just went to his 50th state last weekend (Alaska).

I have been to 32. Missing the Missippi Delta and ND to OK zone.

Qualification for been to means you have slept somewhere in the borders of that state overnight.

No Drive throughs.

    I actually met a really sweet guy in Idaho...married :cool: But it was his birthday so we went out to eat because he had to work.

    And Alaska...Anchorage. I met a really hot guy who was from NYC that I got along really well with. We just hung out.

    Drive Throughs:

    so that's 16 overnight stays and 22 counting drive throughs

    Alright, I guess I'll take your word for it. Clearly, I wasn't the guy you met in Idaho. Rarely am I accused of being sweet.

    I count if I've set foot in the state:

    but using your rule:

    Washington State, California, Nevada, Georgia, Florida, NC, SC, VA, PA, Maryland, Delaware, CT, NY, NJ, Rhode Island, Vermont

    I've set foot in Arizona and I had a layover in Ohio and Indiana.

    and I've been in DC but that's a "district" not a state :D
