I flew about 75,000 miles this year. That’s a lot. For comparison, that’s about 1/3 of the way to the moon (238,855 miles on average). I went to:
- LA (6 times – once for work, the rest for family stuff)
- DC (3 times for work, including a memorable Snowpocalypse adventure)
- New York, NY (for work, but managed to see Hamilton!)
- Baltimore, MD (work conference)
- Bloomington, Indiana (workshop)
- Pittsburgh, PA (workshop)
- Wichita, KS (work stuff)
- Madison, WI (for a friend’s wedding!)
- Arecibo, Puerto Rico (radio telescope!)
- Carpinteria, CA (annual family Labor Day fun time)
- Paris and Lyon, France (work conference)
- Edinburgh, Scotland (work conference)
- Singapore (work conference)
- Hanoi and Ha Long Bay, Vietnam (vacation!)
So yeah, I’m a bit tired. That was probably too much. I’m going to try really hard not to repeat that in 2017, but who knows what will happen. I love traveling, but it is exhausting.
Here are some photo highlights from my year of travel.
