Places all over hell and creation
The idea I get is in places anywhere and everywhere... but with an hyperbolic exaggerated sense...
I would translate it like, "lugares por todo lo habido y por haber" "todos los lugares posibles" Probably there is an Spanish idiomatic way to say it, like "por el cielo, el infierno y el purgatorio incluidos"... but not quite sure if there is a nice concise Spanish cliché that would match the nice register of this English way of expression...  Any ideas always welcome!
