I make that 38- and all for pleasure, not business. Lucky me.

If at all possible, make time to drive up the Douro River valley into the wine region. It’s spectacular.

Moonlitherial: Mile 1 would be just outside of Prudhoe Bay, which has its own airport (PUO). It’s also called the Deadhorse Airport, but that’s not official.

A few more I forgot:
St. Louis
Tampa
Cuzco, Peru

bringing my total to 39 (plus the three that I disqualified).

Can’t even begin to count.

I was in the travel business for 25 years. Got to go everywhere for free. In just three states alone (CA, FL and TX) I’ve been to over 15 airports. Internationally it’s gotta be over 20.

I did a military career. I long ago lost track, and that’s waaay too big a number, IMO.
