It's funny how many of the posters above do not know basic geography. Anyway, this thread is useless without (at least rough) coordinates.
As for me:
North: Thingvellir National Park, Iceland (64 16'N)
East: Moscow, Russia (37E)
West: Chicago, IL (87W)
South: Lake Titicaca, Peru (16S)
The East Pole and the West Pole
As I am born and raised in Germany, I'll take this as the center. hence:
North: Gothenburg, Sweden
South: Singapore
West: San Francisco (that's further west than LA, right?)
East: Redang Island, Malaysia (will be Tokyo, Japan by June 2011)
N: London, UK
S: Ushuaia, Argentina
E: Athens, Greece
W: Los Angeles, USA
W: Kauai, Hawaii
N: Boston, MA
E: Miami, FL
S: Miami, FL

I never realized the difference but you're right. Thank you.
I flew east from Detroit to Dusseldorf....then east to Shanghai and east back to Detroit. So I guess I never went "west" :)
From Massachusetts, Perth, Australia covers both west and south and looked at another way it's also as far east as I've been though we travelled west to get there. Lapland in Finland is farthest north and if I rule out Perth as farthest east the Finnish-Soviet border was the farthest east.
North: Fairbanks, AK
South: Sydney, Australia
East: Sydney, Australia (but Dublin if you count actually traveling Eastward to get there)
West: Denali, AK
Kind of funny, I've traveled quite a bit, but my extremes come from just two trips. It's hard to get North or West of Fairbanks as well as South or East of Sydney, in general terms, unless you're doing extended travels in those areas. Now I wish I had vacationed in the Aleutians, to log the most East, West and North travels in one trip.

You should note that Boston is quite a bit east of Miami.
So I'll add my two cents.
W: Pacific coast, west of Seattle, WA
N: Edinburgh, Scotland
E: Rotterdam, Netherlands
S: San Jose, Costa Rica
