hi. i'm don.

List gets shorter each year, even though I’m spending about the same amount of time traveling. Fewer destinations, more trips to some of them.

Links lead to related posts; boldface indicates cities I visited more than once.

• Seattle, WA (home)
• Salt Lake City, UT: February, June
• Cannon Beach, OR
• Reno, NV
• Rosario, WA
• Telma, WA (actually a cabin on Lake Wenatchee)
• Corvallis, OR
• Sequim, WA
• San Francisco, CA

A bit different method this time. The list includes cities where I spent less than 24 hours if the city was the primary destination. Previously, I only included cities I where I had spent at least 24 consecutive hours, but this year I made a few day trips I wanted to include.

If this is at all like last year, family and friends will remind me of a couple of trips I took and didn’t have listed in my calendar, so I may add to this list over the next few days.

Previous “in cities” lists: 2005, 2006, 2007.

Also, Katharine’s list; our friend Julie Anne’s list.

I spent at least one day in each of these cities in 2007. Fewer cities than 2006 but about the same amount of travel time.

In roughly chronological order:

• Mill Creek, WA (my home until mid-April)
• Seattle, WA (home the rest of the year)
• Spokane, WA
• Salt Lake City, UT
• Astoria, OR
• Friday Harbor, WA (twice, for whale-watching trips)
• Victoria, BC, Canada
• Corvallis, OR
• Orlando, FL

Similar lists for 2005 and 2006.

Rehashing the same idea from last year, the list of cities I spent at least one day (a contiguous 24-hour period) in 2006, in roughly chronological order. Asterisks indicate multiple visits; links lead to Google Maps:

• Mill Creek, WA (home)
• Seattle, WA *
• Denver, CO
• Vancouver, BC, Canada
• Salt Lake City, UT *
• Corvallis, OR
• Santa Rosa, CA
• Napa, CA
• Monterey, CA
• San Francisco, CA
• Mill Valley, CA
• Victoria, BC, Canada

I was going to list the cities where I spent at least a few hours as well, but that would number into the dozens—maybe even a hundred or more with the several road trips I took this year. I might do that later if I decide to scrape the info directly out of my Palm database.
