Title: How many countries have you visited?
Post by: Robertt S on May 07, 2025, 11:06:36 pm

I thought this might be an interesting topic. I must confess that I might have a slight advantage since I spent 6 years in the United States Navy.


1. Spain x 3. Rota and Palma Mallorca twice
2. Portsmouth England
3. Holy Loch Scotland
4. Egypt ( Port Said) (Transited the Suez Canal)
5. Diego Garcia Indian Ocean ( 3 months of boredom)
6. Perth Australia ( very friendly people)
7. Panama ( Transited the Panama canal)
8. Mexico ( Neuvo Laredo) Picked up a load of pottery and wrought iron products
9. China x 3
10. Philippines x 2 ( Cities visited include Cebu, Coron, El Nido, Puerto Princesa , Cagayan de Oro, Lanao Del Norte)
11. South Korea x4 (Incheon)


And as a bonus I also belong to the Order of Magellan for circumnavigating the earth, as well as being a Shellback, belonging to the Order of the Golden Dragon, Royal Order of the Ditch ( Panama Canal), and Safari to Suez!

Interesting.

1.  Mexico        - too many times to count as I grew up on the border.
2.  Iran            - 1
3.  Switzerland - 1
4.  Israel          - 2
5.  China          - 5
6.  Texas          - Haha
7.  Canada        - I'm not counting them because they may become the 51st state.   Just joking Martin.

Damn Martin, I forgot about my 3 weeks in Gitmo Cuba getting recertified Damage control and Battle readiness! That was prior to our circumnavigation of the earth!

Thankfully, I have never been to Gitmo.  Seems like a place I would rather not go to.  Cuba is a beautiful country, with very nice people.  Most countries are pretty nice, if you separate the country from the politics.
