All the places I've been

I travel a lot for work. Usually at least once a month, and sometime I visit as many as four or five different locations in a given month. I figured out a way to put up one of those cool maps with the pushpins (see below). I thought I would share all the places I have been in the last 18 months and a little tidbit about them:

  • Washington, DC - what a great city. I wish I had more time to explore and maybe take the Segway tour.
  • Charlotte, NC - Great weather and very green.
  • Miami, FL - I never even saw the beach and interesting, Cuban inspired food.
  • Los Angeles, CA - I was there from 8 pm to 8 am.
  • Salt Lake City, UT - Nice people.
  • Atlanta, GA - The Chick-Fil-A dwarf houses crack me up and they have a server to bring your nuggets and waffle fries.
  • San Francisco, CA - cold and smells like fish.
  • Austin, TX - Surprisingly modern and I ate at an excellent steak house.
  • Spokane, WA - that is one small airport!
  • Philadelphia, NJ - Everything looks wooded and rural, but it's really not.
  • Las Vegas, NV - No, I did not gamble or hang out on the Strip. Besides work, I had dinner with some friends.
  • Ft. Lauderdale - another one of those places where I didn't see the beach.
  • Baltimore, MD - they have lots of crabs there.
  • Jacksonville, FL - the people there have a southern accent, which I didn't expect. But if I had paid attention to the map, Jacksonville borders South Carolina.
  • San Diego, CA - I used to live there. If it wasn't so crowded and expensive, I would go back.
  • Detroit, MI - COLD, COLD, COLD.
  • Orange County, CA - home to Disneyland and Disney's California Adventure. One one trip, I went there, and didn't go on the other.
  • Phoenix, AZ - HOT, HOT, HOT!
  • Atlantic City, NJ - Hmmmm, I think the jokes about New Jersey might be true.
  • Ontario, CA - It's like they are trying too hard to be LA but not be LA.

Bear in mind that some of these places I have been to more than once and I still have a full schedule ahead of me. Next up are Seattle, Oakland, Raleigh, Orlando and Europe!
