Travel Plans
Every year, Kottke does his "year in cities" and I've done the same thing: 2005, 2006, and 2007/08. In '09, I spent most of my time in New York - Brooklyn, specifically - but unlike last year, I stayed in Manhattan and Queens on several occasions. I also went upstate to Beacon and Geneva. Perhaps Staten Island and The Bronx should go on my list this year. Closer by, I stayed in Scranton, Pennsylvania (near Sno Mountain, Wharton, NJ, and somewhere in the Berkshires. I also went to Dallas four times, Austin, DC and New Haven twice each, Los Angeles, Las Vegas, Rome and Florence once each. I also went to Pisa, Hamden CT, New Canaan, CT and Bedford, NY, among others I now forget, but didn't stay the night. Last year, I said that I'd go to several places I didn't end up going: San Francisco, Hawaii, Kansas/Missouri, Spain and Argentina. I make no such promises this year but I will say that I'd like to go someplace tropical and I'd like to go back to Europe. I can make that happen. I'll keep you posted.
