So only *technically* the US then. ;)

I’ve only ever been to the actual states in transit, but been to USA twice (Guam & Puerto Rico). I guess I’ll just keep visiting the rest of the peripheries of the empire.
I would have gone to the USVI too if this hadn’t been a family trip. Was a bit of a slower pace than usual.
Maybe American Samoa next. :p
