1 For editorial clarification, we at FarawayHolmes™ define a “visit” as any time an individual (1) physically enters the geographical boundaries of a particular state, territory, or country; and (2) physically steps onto the ground or floor within said boundaries. Flying through the air space over a location is not a recognized visit; however, stepping foot off of an aircraft and into the airport terminal is recognized. No purchase, food consumption, or recreational activity beyond physically touching the ground is necessary to legitimize a visit. No minimum duration of time within the geographical boundaries is required.

2 Adrian visited several states as a child but can only estimate the dates and order of his first visits to California and Nevada. Beginning with New York, all states in succession are listed in verified visited order.
