Maybe it's for the best then. Don't think I didn't notice that you ignored my Ohio offer.

That's my hometown, seriously.
Oh wow, the pressure! I need to think a bit about what would most appeal to Elfman ...
Wait - hey - I live here! That counts for a little something, right?
Were you someone who had been to an Ohio airport? Not Cincinnati I assume?

Re: How many states have you visited?
OK, so if I ever come to southern Ohio I've got a place to stay sorted (I assume you have a spare room or a habitable basement), but what about sights, stuff to do? Got any castles?

Re: How many states have you visited?
Of course they have. Toledo has a great medieval castle on the banks of the Tagus, the Alcazar fortress, and some wonderful Moorish architecture.

Regarding castles - funny you should ask! Here's our local castle:

I bet you didn't think I'd have one to post, did you?.
Aside from that we have professional sports (that you can afford to attend!), historic neighborhoods (by US standards), a symphony, opera, ballet, lots of theater, duck boat tours, an aquarium, one of the only Hoffbrauhaus in the US and local chili that has cocoa and cinnamon in it.
Oh ... and I hear they're rebuilding Butter Jesus. We could roadtrip north to include that in your itinerary!

Of course they have. Toledo has a great castle on the corner of Jefferson and Ontario, Fort Meigs, active in the War of 1812, and The Islamic Center of Greater Toledo.
What Toledo has - is The Mud Hens and Tony Packo's. Nuff said.

Re: How many states have you visited?
Mrs tonrob reckons you have to at least stay overnight to count a state. That rules a few out that I've driven though. My visit to Arkansas was simply a 30 minute jaunt in the car from Memphis, but I did stop to have a pee while there so I think you may need to pee in a state to count it. (In which case would a poo count double?)
I will be sleeping in Iowa next week, but my Wisconsin visit will be as shameless as my Arkansas one (note to self - drink three cups of tea before setting out just to make sure).

Re: How many states have you visited?
Of the lower 48 I have not been to:
WY
SD
MI
ME
Hmm, so that's 44. Each state I have either set foot in (not an airport) or been through on Amtrak or driven through. If you only count states where I've overnighted in a land hotel then it's 17 plus DC.

1. It's just not in the spirit of the game,
2. Borderline twattish behaviour.
Not hard to see why the SiL dumped him.

Re: How many states have you visited?
It's a great question, and one I've debated with friends on and off for a while. On one of my early trips to Florida the plane stopped at Bangor on the way, so for years I was saying I'd "visited Maine". Later on when I'd been to a few more states it felt silly to claim that one as I hadn't even got off the plane. (Now living in New England I have of course made several 'legitimate' Maine trips).
Mrs tonrob reckons you have to at least stay overnight to count a state. That rules a few out that I've driven though. My visit to Arkansas was simply a 30 minute jaunt in the car from Memphis, but I did stop to have a pee while there so I think you may need to pee in a state to count it.

As a minimum to qualify I think you need the following:
a. At least 1 hour on the ground on state territory
b. Breakfast, lunch, dinner and/or beers at a local establishment, and most importantly,
c. A T-Shirt.
