Canada: 2 days, visiting a friend in Quebec.

Mexico: Longest was a whole week; but accumulated over how many times I have gone there is probably a whole year or more. Always just been for fun (the week long stay was via a cruise); mostly just Tiajuana though.

Germany: 2 weeks, for work. Never got to see anything outside Bremerhaven.

Ireland: 2 hours. Had a layover there on the way to Germany.

I live in California, and have been to every state in the US except for Alaska and Hawaii. Almost got to Hawaii. That work in Germany I mentioned? It was because I was hired as a crewman for the Pride of America, an NCL cruise ship and it was just finishing being built when I got aboard. Was supposed to be touring Hawaii, but I tripped down some stairs on the way across the Atlantic to New York and fucked myself up enough that I couldn't continue working. Missed out on crossing the Panama canal and seeing Hawaii. ๐Ÿ˜ฉ
