Continental US
Definition:
Commonly seen in the eligibility section of sweepstakes rules, "Continental US" refers to all of the United States on the North American continent. The Continental United States includes 49 states, all of them except Hawaii.
I'm wondering if "49 states, all of them except Hawaii" is grammatically correct.

He traveled widely, addressing college and university audiences and singing concerts in 49 states, all except Hawaii.
I think that "49 states, all except Hawaii" is correct. Do you think that "49 states, all of them except Hawaii" is correct as well?
