so, i was furious an hour ago when i got bumped from the first multi-hour-delayed flight that i was on. then this second flight just got pushed back another hour -- we're going on 5 hours or so that i'll have been here before i get out. At least.
After seeing the lists made by a number of friends, I thought it'd be fun to post my own record of the cities I visited in 2006. I believe the canonical rules state that only cities where I spent the night count, and cities that were visited on more than one discrete trip are designated with an asterisk. Thus:
- Anchorage, AK
- Aspen, CO
- Boston, MA
- Camp Hill, PA
- Cary, NC *
- Chicago, IL *
- Dallas, TX
- Half Moon Bay, CA
- Las Vegas, NV *
- Los Angeles, CA
- New Orleans, LA
- New York, NY *
- Phoenix, AZ
- Portland, OR *
- Sacramento, CA *
- San Diego, CA *
- San Francisco, CA *
- Santa Monica, CA
- Sausalito, CA
- Seattle, WA
- Taipei
- Washington, DC *
Some of those are really exceptional because of the sheer number of times I visited (I live in San Francisco, and visited NYC five times this year, Vegas four, and Sacramento and San Diego three), so I realized the final tally put me in a new city, on average, every other week. I think I'm justified feeling tired about 2006 and happy to be in 2007.
...but I'm still glad that I've been to the places I've been.
I've visited 12 countries, which is 5% of the world's nations, and 37 states, which is 72% of U.S. states. You can try out the meme for yourself.
