Travel Fatigue


Photo-The Terminal

 For the past few weeks, I've wondered why I can't seem to catch up on sleep, reconnect with the friends I'd like to talk with and complete projects that need finishing. It's not time for year end wrap-ups just yet but today, I calculated that by the end of 2011, I will have visited:



Colombia
US
California- San Jose
Colorado
-CO Springs
- Estes Park
- Fort Collins (5+ times)
- Boulder
- Flat Tops Wilderness
- Paonia
- Redstone
- Telluride

North Carolina- Holden Beach/Greensboro
Minnesota- Twin Cities
Nebraska - Omaha (5+ times)
Nevada- Las Vegas/Hoover Dam
Oregon- (2 times) Astoria/Portland/Cannon Beach/Depoe Bay
Texas- San Antonio/Dallas/Ft Worth
Utah- Arches Nat'l Park/Moab/Horsetooth Canyon
Virginia- Alexandria
Washington DC
Washington- Longview

That's 9 states, a DC and a South American country. I have averaged 2 trips/month and 91 days on the road. Almost 1/4 of my time is spent traveling and of course, I've also had some great friends and family visit in between those trips too. If you ever hear me complain about feeling stir-crazy, you have my permission to throw this list back in my face and call me ridiculous. That's exactly what this list is: ridiculous! I'm sorry I haven't been around lately. I have so much to document from the last month but for today, I'm just exhausted.
