This year was a DOOZY for me, travel-wise. I covered the most ground and had a blast along the way!
Let’s take a look at 2006 in review…
Miles flown: 131,692
Number of segments flown: 153 (hey, I have to connect everywhere!)
Countries visited: 9
States visited: 36
Canadian provinces visited: 4
Most commonly visited states-
- Pennsylvania (lots of cultural clients there)- 9 trips in 2006
- DC/Maryland area- 8 trips
- California- 6 trips
- New York-6 trips
- Massachusetts-6 trips
- Texas- 5 trips
Fun fact: only ONE flight I took this year cancelled and caused me to have disrupted travel plans…. And that is the trip I just took to Colorado. Ironic, huh? The last trip of the year! (Unless I go to the Bahamas next week which is likely)
Among my favorite highlights of the year:
- 3 for 1 happy hour in New Orleans on Bourbon Street… and a pretty successful night at the Blackjack table at Harrah’s
- Biking the Sea Wall in Vancouver on a clear June morning- amazing views!
- My FIRST hash in Colorado with the Kimchi and Pikes Peak crew (Hi Nascock)
- COSTA RICA- ziplining through the rainforest, horseback riding down Arenal
- My first Scottish Highland Fling in London- men in kilts!
- Freedom Trail Run/Bar Crawl in Boston (we got a little diverted off the trail at times)
- Beating Clemson!!! (OK, that had nothing to do with travels... still it still rocked!)
- The “Best Game of Blackjack” at Barona Valley Casino in San Diego- SUPER FUN 21
- Snorkeling in Grand Cayman (yes, I am still working on my scuba certification)
Current Delta SkyMiles balance: 312,993 (that last minute 70,000 mile Costa Rica award ticket I used a couple months ago did not even leave a dent)- this leaves me with over 12 free domestic tickets in the bank. Yeeeaah!
Lifetime Million Miler Miles for Delta- 356,721. I will win something BIG (like a luggage tag) when I hit 1M, 2M, and 3M miles over my lifetime...muuwahahhaaaa
States I have yet to visit (45 down, 5 to go!) - Hawaii, Alaska, Maine, Vermont, Idaho
Why do I travel so much? Well, I work in sales. Also, I think the great Allman Brothers said it best… let me tweak the lyrics a tad…
Lord, I was born a ramblin' (wo)man,
Tryin' to make a livin' and doin' the best I can.
And when it's time for leavin', I hope you'll understand,
That I was born a ramblin' (wo)man.

Wow! I thought I travelled. I guess you are one of the other 13% Americans with a passport. Seemed not too many of us wander about. Good on you, as they say here in New Zealand.
I've added your blog to my netvibes to gain inspiration in the area of exercise. Keep on keeping on, Tiffany!
Pipa
I'm offended that your didn't list your virgon Hash House Harriers run as
Those that read your blog and know what hashing is will say the same thing.

On-On,

Yes, I've got a worn out passport- makes for some good tales. No reason to not get out there!
Hoping to make it to your end of the world sometime, Pipa. I am shooting for a trip to Australia and/or KiwiLand soon :)
Sweet Nascock- please see my updated blog. My old version of blogger must have zapped that from the list! :)
BTW- I saw a camo Cocks hat today while out shopping- it made me think of you. I might just go back and git it!
