I’m British, if that makes a difference. I’ve been to all of them except O’Hare, but I will be there in May. ---

From your list: Atlanta (airport and city) Grand Canyon Los Angeles Las Vegas All except Atlanta were from a family vacation when I was a teenager, and yet I somehow think I’m reasonably well-traveled. I’ve been to Six Flags Over Texas, DisneyLand and Cedar Point. What more could a man want? 🙂 ---

Note: For places where the city but not the airport is specified (LA, NYC), I’m giving a “yes” to “airport only” votes. I am not giving “yeses” to “not yet but I will be next month” votes. Atlanta airport: 28 Grand Canyon: 18 Los Angeles: 29 Las Vegas: 27 NYC: 37 O’Hare: 31 Orlando: 28 ETA: And for those who aren’t clear about it – O’Hare is in Chicago. It and Atlanta are the two biggest hub airports in the U.S. ---

So far, just two: NYC Orlando Which is depressing, because I consider myself quite well-travelled… I just haven’t seen much of the US, for some odd reason. ---

I’ve been to all except Atlanta and O’Hare (although I have been to Chicago, just not via O’Hare). Admittedly, I was only 7 at the time we visited all of those places, but it still counts, right?
