So in thinking about my upcoming travels I was reflecting upon where I'd been in the past few years. Yes, you may say this is an exercise in frivolity. But I more wanted to review for myself: a denouement of the last 2 years if you will.
The list is by no means complete prior to 2005 though I think most of the major trips of 2004 are included. 2003 is a blur. 2002? God only knows. I know I was in Osaka and Kyoto twice that year and Maui (see photos). I know that all the ski trips and camping trips are unaccounted for... but something has to be left to the imagination lest I document my entire life.
Anyway, when one looks at the freedom in one's life and the ability to move about and get 'out of the cube' in one's job I think the below list says it all. It's no wonder I generally enjoy being home when I'm here. An important note: almost all of the trips below were for pleasure or involved some type of pleasurable activity taking place after 'work' was done. What is work, really?
