Colorado is the only other state (besides texas) that i haven't been outside of an airport... Denver was my stop on my way to seattle for my first business trip... it was very boring... and i was super tired... and after having to stop there, i decided i would always fly direct on business trips from then on... but the view from the plane flying in was fantastic... so beautiful...
Deleware is another boring state... i've traveled through it twice on my way to New York (both times by bus)... the first time, i was in 6th grade... and several of us on the bus had drank a whole case of Jolt cola between SWVA and deleware... not only were we bouncing off the walls of the bus, but we had to use the little girls room as well... i remember around baltimore it really hit (and we weren't about to use the yucky facilities on the bus) and it seemed to take forever to get our bus driver to stop... but eventually he gave in... and we were relieved...
New Jersey, again, is a state that i've only driven through on my way to NYC... my second trip to NYC was on a chorus trip in high school... we had left SWVA late in the afternoon, so we'd get to NYC early in the AM (in time to sing outside of the Today Show window)... so we stopped at a new jersey rest stop to freshen up... and warm up our voices... let me tell you, those poor ppl at the rest stop (at 4am, mind you) looked really scared when 100 teens piled from buses and started singing "Rocky Top"... LOL...
Kentucky... the only state in this post that i've actually spent a night in... and not by choice either... my last year at rose, i was driving back to indiana from SWVA when my car decides it doesn't want to run anymore... i'm 4.5 hours from home, and 4.5 hours from rose... with out a car...in nowhere kentucky (winchester, actually)... in the middle of winter... i call my dad, and he says he's not able to come till morning... so i call chris to see if he's up for a "road trip" not telling him exactly what the road trip would entail... after he agrees, i tell him where i am and ask him to come get me... knowing it will be at least 4 and a half hours till he gets there, and it being 6pm already, i ask the tow truck guy to take me to a place that will be open late... so off to walmart I go... ya know, it's super hard to spend 4 hours in walmart when you really have no money and you don't really need anything... but i managed... it was so late when chris got there, we decided to stay the night at a nearby hotel and finish the drive to indiana in the morning... and now all the time i get to hear about how chris was a hero and come rescued me when i was stuck in "Winchestertonfieldville" (from the movie Mr. Deeds, i think)...
