Gosh, this is going to be a long list, but here goes:

I will leave the border states of Maryland and Delaware off since their "Southerness" is debatable.

First, for USC football "away" games:

Blacksburg, Raleigh, Winston-Salem, Knoxville, Nashville, Clemson, Greenville, NC, Athens, Tuscaloosa, Auburn, Atlanta, Starkville, Ms., Memphis, Jacksonville, Gainesville, Tampa, Miami, Tallahassee and Lexington, Ky. I will add Chapel Hill to this list when we kill the Tar Heels this fall.

For USC basketball "away" games (ok, a few repeats):

Athens, Atlanta, Knoxville, Clemson, Blacksburg, Raleigh, Charlotte, Greenville, NC, Charleston, Kansas City (ok, another border state) and Mobile

For vacations I will use the guideline of spending the night or visiting an attraction there:

Greensboro, Durham, DC, Arlington, Alexandria, Charleston, WV, Richmond, Petersburg, Wilmington, NC, Myrtle Beach, Greenville, SC, Asheville, Boone, Saluda, NC, Walhalla, SC, Spartanburg, SC, Hilton Head Island, SC, Columbia (before I moved here), Savannah, Orlando, Fort Myers, Fort Lauderdale, Key West, Pompano Beach, Daytona Beach, St. Petersburg, Clearwater, Biloxi, Gulfport, Tunica, Houston, Dallas, Birmingham, Augusta, Camden, SC, Florence, SC, Rocky Mount, NC, Wilson, NC, Henderson, NC, South of the Border, SC, Sumter, SC.

The major or significant places of interest I have visited on vacation or weekend trips non-business related in the South:

Tennessee: Memphis, Jackson, Clarksville, Nashville, Knoxville, Gatlinburg

Kentucky: Paducah, Bowling Green, Lexington, Frankfort

Mississippi: Gulfport, Jackson

Louisiana: New Orleans, Morgan City, New Iberia, Baton Rouge

Florida: Miami, Fort Myers, Naples

It would take to long to list all the smaller cities and communities I have visited on trips.

Wilmington NC

Asheville NC

Charlotte NC

Myrtle Beach SC

Virginia Beach VA

...and I went to Orlando when I was like, five years old.

I don't really think of DC or Alexandria as southern cities, though my exploits there have been primarily touristic in nature.
