It's great to hear people talking about their trips as far in advance as I talk about mine. Folks in my office think I'm nuts for planning so far in advance, but then wonder why I take such fabulous trips. Duh!

Anyway, I start the new year right with a week on Oahu's north shore for some sun and surfing and relaxing with my Mom. I leave the next day for D.C. for a possible job interview and a quick visit with friends. My other trips are to Burlington, Vermont, for a philosophy seminar and some hiking in July; Prague/Budapest in October and Houston in April or November to visit a friend who works for NASA. Oh, and a couple trips to San Francisco to try some new eateries. Those are just the pleasure trips. I'd estimate that's about 40K miles?? Business trips rarely take me farther than San Francisco - a crummy 1100 miles RT from PDX - but I may get lucky and get sent to Melbourne, Florida once or twice.

Happy travels to all!
