My Travel Past

This is more for me than for people who read this, since I print my blog into books at the end of each year.

Now that I am in one place, I decided it was a good time to make a spreadsheet of all of the cities I visited while touring, as well as a list of where I have been so far outside of the U.S. and Canada. You think you will remember forever, but you simply don't. When I was going through my touring calendars, I had zero recollection of being in some of those places. I knew that I had stopped in over 300 touring cities, but now I actually have it all in one place. My back hurts from sitting all day, and my eyes are going at little wonky, but I think it was well worth it.

A few findings:

I traveled to 340 cities, but only 249 unique cities. Meaning I went back to some of the same places more than once.

The number one city that I have been back to more than any other on tour is.... DETROIT. Ew! Four times in five years. Best theatre, but horrible place. Remember when my car got stolen there? I do, and I also remember the time I did not blog about when I got harassed terribly by some men at a restaurant and felt completely unsafe.

Close runners up at three visits each were: Boston, Bozeman, Buffalo, Clearwater, Indianapolis, Portland (OR), Providence, Rochester, Sacramento, Salt Lake City, Sarasota, Toledo and Vancouver. I can remember so much about these cities, and have great memories of them.

The states I have been to the most cities is are California and Florida, tied at 18. Second runner up is Pennsylvania at 13. The Canadian Provence I have been to the most cities in is Alberta, at four. I'm shocked they even have four cities there!

I have been to four Springfields. Illinois, Massachusetts, Ohio, and Missouri. I hear that's why the Simpson's live in Springfield- there are so many of them that they could be in Anywhere U.S.A.

My list of countries visited is:

• Russia



• Greenland



• Iceland



• Denmark



• Ireland



• Germany



• United Kingdom



• Switzerland



• France



• Vatican City



• Austria



• Italy



• Greece
  Turkey

I will be adding the Czech Republic, Hungary and Slovakia to the list in a few months. Looking at this, it makes me realize that I need to branch out to some of the other continents. When my sister no longer lives in Europe, I think I will start trying some other areas of the world.

I really don't know how I am going to handle two weeks of vacation next year. Sigh....
