Yes, United Airlines likes me very much.
I didn't include any pre-1986 trips, because I didn't have any, other than border towns in Canada and Mexico.
Also, I left out all mainland US trips.
Planned for 2026 (6): Denmark, Poland, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Finland
Planned for 2027 (4+1): Tibet (China), Papua New Guinea, Fiji, Vanuatu, Solomon Islands
Maybe someday (4+1): Bolivia, Mongolia, UAE Dubai, Switzerland, Puerto Rico (USA)
Close enough to see from the ground: Kenya, Namibia, Laos, Serbia, Syria, Rarotonga (Cook Islands), Paraguay
Some interesting domestic ideas:
Been to all 50 states in the USA. Lived in New York, Texas, Connecticut, Massachusetts, California and Georgia.
In Canada I've been to British Columbia, Alberta, Ontario, Quebec, New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island,
Nova Scotia and Newfoundland & Labrador (8 of 10 provinces) plus Yukon (1 of 3 territories).
Missing provinces (2): Saskatchewan and Manitoba (easy to access).
Missing territories (2): Northwest Territories and Nanavut (very difficult).
All four meet at a single, inaccessible, point.
I've been a bit north of the Arctic Circle (about 66°N) twice:
The closest I've been to the Antarctic Circle (about 66°S) is:
