2007 In Review

Ok, I wasn't as diligent about updating my travel posts in the latter half of 2007. Apologies. I was in fact continuing my travels and just got lazy.

I managed to continue racking up miles and hotel stays in 2007: Over 130,000 miles in air travel (mostly on United) and at least 70 hotel nights (mostly Starwood and Marriott). If I add in meal in restaurants, I guess that would probabably end up in 300 range. Maybe I should just stay home in 2008?

Where did I go in 2007? Within the U.S. I visited (some several times): Los Angeles, San Francisco, Napa Valley, Sacramento, Salt Lake City, Nashville, Cleveland, Chicago, New York City, Baltimore, Dallas, Long Island, Philadelphia, Denver, Las Vegas, and of course, continued to explore Washington, DC.

On the worldwide front, I visited India for a month (work), Sweden, Norway, Hong Kong & Macau, Italy, Dominican Republic and Colombia. I will try to back track a bit and write some stories from some of those trips. But I need to find good pictures to accompany the blog, and I'm just too disorganized right now.

Where will 2008 take me? Already been back to Los Angeles/Pasadena, New York City and Chicago. There will be a couple of trips to Las Vegas for sure (since I've already paid for them), plus who knows where else. I do plan to try to make it to Vietnam and New Zealand this year. Why? Because I haven't been to either place. I don't want to repeat too many countries just yet (except for I's: Ireland, Italy and India). If anyone has a suggestion, please share.

For now, how everyone had a nice holiday season and is now well versed in signing dates with 2008 instead of 2007.

Cheers!
