Hey Paul, Hope you're well mate!
Travelled all over 10 years ago covering almost 50 countries in approx 6 years... only problem was the camera I using was a Sony Cybershot... thought the quality was great at the time... now all I can see is "noise" and "focus not in the right area" etc.... |

I'll throw in my two bits. None of this is military travel. Couple of these are U.S. territories (not states),but I'll mention them anyway. And, yes I know Scotland is a part of the U.K., but after watching Braveheart, I'll count it as a country. LOL
USA

Mexico
Virgin Islands
Puerto Rico
France
Germany
Netherlands
UK
Ireland
Scotland
Abu Dhabi

Hong Kong, Chinese
South Korea
Japan
Western Caroline Islands
Saipan
Guam
Gilbert Islands
Marshall Islands
And shipboard in the South China Sea, Straits of Moluccas and the Arabian Gulf (commonly referred to at the Persian Gulf)
And one odd thing of note ... nothing in South or Central America. Don't know how that happened, but I really should take steps to rectify it. Thinking about Ecuador and Peru or perhaps the Galapagos Islands or Easter Island. We'll see. |

Europe
(4) Denmark

(14) Switzerland

(16) Hungary
(17) Serbia (actually still Yugoslavia then)
(18) Macedonia
(19) Albania
(20) Greece
(21) Turkey
(22) USSR (back in the days)
(23) East Germany (back in the days - does this count?)
