Default Passports

Curious to see how many of the people here have passports and who has
visited outside of their home country as a civilian.
Pilots being the more adventurous types, I'm curious.
As noted before, I've traveled extensively outside the USA and have had
probably 6 or more passports that ran out of time but I have a current
one good for a few more years.
Anyone???
Cheers

I travel pretty regularly to Canada (over the NY state border, either north
to Montreal or west to Niagara Falls and Toronto) and have yet to get a
passport. On my list of things to do, but so far the item remains
unchecked.

Aside from I don't know how many passports I had growing up, I'm on my third one
as an adult and the one I have now is current. I have traveled to Germany,
Austria, Switzerland, Holland, England, Ireland, the Bahamas, Cuba, Grand
Cayman, Jamaica, Puerto Rico, Montserrat and Antigua. I have lived in Japan,
the Azores, and of course the United States.

I got the short end of the stick in my family... the others are better traveled
than I. And I'm the one with the pilot's license....

I have an expired passport that is full of stamps from the days when
they would actually stamp your passport when traveling throughout
Europe.
I have been to Canada, Germany, Spain, Belgium, Switzerland,
Austria, Italy, France, Netherlands, New Foundland and the
Bahamas.

If I win the lottery, I plan on going all over the world in my
new (to me) Commander 115. Then when I've covered
everywhere with a runway, I'll buy Cessna Caravan Seaplane
and do all the rest.

My mistake, I forgot I had already listed Canada.
What I should have put there was Iceland.
But I got mind twisted, which is kind of like
tongue twisted.

I guess next you'll be correcting the guy that
put Puerto Rico as a country.

Here's one for you.
How many countries in North America?

I was going to reply the obvious four for the
continental North America... I didn't know/realize
that the Caribbean were part of North America.
