Wow...has it been a year already? I remember I started this blog in December 2005 with a retrospective on that year. I figured it's a good idea to keep the tradition going, so here's my travel retrospective for 2006. However, I did notice that I'm about, oh, four months late on this little mini-memoir, so I've decided to shorten it by keeping the really high highlights. So thus I present: 2006 cities in 10 words or less (each, of course). And in a free form, verbal-diarrhea-esque fashion...
Preamble
So if 2005 was the year of 40+ flights, 2006 was the year of way-too-many-to-remember flights. I had at least 46 "qualifying" flights on United and its partners, but that doesn't include the countless of other award flights, American flights, as well as my very first flight on Southwest--all amounting to around 120,000 miles, *flown*. In any case, I think I was away for every other weekend in 2006 (if you were to even out the travel)...which as I said, is too many to remember.
