Poll question: How many of the 7 continents have you been to?
I've only been to one: North America. Just flying over a continent doesn't count. But being anywhere on the ground does.

18. My mom has 5
She's been to Asia before, and also Africa (Egypt and Morocco).

I bet I could talk her into coming with me to visit my e-buddies in Australia and New Zealand, but probably not Antarctica, she hates the cold.
