International Destinations
One McNulty or another has visited eight different countries, 3% of the world, at one time or another, including:

There they saw several events and made good friends with locals Brad and Marty. Brad and Marty travelled to California for Kev and Deb's wedding and Deb and Kev returned the favor in 1989 when they travelled to Alberta for their one year anniversary. Brad took them to Edmonton to see the West Edmonton Mall (the world's largest), and also to the Columbia Ice Field where they climbed the Athabasca Glacier.

While there he saw Buckingham Palace, the Houses of Parliament, the National Theatre, Westminster Abby, Piccadily Circus, and even fed the pigeons in Trafalgar Square. He made a day trip in Salsbury Plain where he saw Salsbury Cathedral and Stonehenge. He saw Cats during its original run in the West End. He was even there for the "Queen's Birthday" parade where he saw the entire Royal Family, including then Princess Diana. His most memorable moment there, though, was watching the Ceremony of the Keys at the Tower of London, a priviledge for which his father had obtained tickets for months in advance.

- Mexico - Though some would argue that Tiajuana doesn't really count as Mexico, the US Border Patrol feel differently, and Kevin has been to Tiajuana a handful of times.
