My 50 States

As a break in the monotony at the office yesterday, I decided to

a) see if I could list all 50 states from memory and,
b) see how many I've been to.

Well, I did it. I remembered them all. Then I realized I hadn't been to as many as I thought. 30 of 50. That's 60% folks.

Some I may never have a reason to go to except if I get sent there on business. Sorry Idaho and Montana. Others, I have high on my list. I'd like to take a 10 day trip to Florida in 2008 or 2009 and see all the major sites/sights...mainly Miami and Orlando.

Then, when I have accrued three weeks vaca, I'd like to use 14 days to hit up New England.

Once those are out of the way, I need a Hawaii trip in there somewhere. Then comes international travel for the rest of my life.

Sound good? I actually would like to spend some 4 day weekends around this great state I now live in. Wine Country, the Bay Area, San Diego...plus, there are dozens upon dozens of things to still see in the LA/OC area.

Okay, okay...first things first. I need to get a couch.
