Planes, Trains & Automobiles

This summer has gone by in a flash, what's crazier is this year is going by in a flash. Weddings being the driving force behind most of the year, snagged with a load of job interviews. Speaking of which, I got one. A job that is. So, there's an update for you. In an effort to have fun before signing away most of my life, I decided to take a couple of trips before my first day on the job, eminent in t-minus 3 days. Right now I'm in Boston, visiting my good friend from Lake Forest, Amy. Brian is here too, joining in on the fun, i.e. walking everywhere, Sam Adams Brewery, Newbury Street, Fenway and the Freedom Trail that I am pumped for. But before taking off yesterday I had a flash back to the loads of airplane rides I've taken this year.

1. Washington, D.C. first week of January
2. New York, New York, first week of February
3. Naples, Florida, end of February
4. New York, New York, again, late March
5. Atlanta, Georgia, June
6. Boston, Massachusetts, August

And littered throughout: roadtrips.

1. Washington, D.C., January
2. Kalamazoo, Michigan (the mitt), February
3. Iowa City, Iowa, March & May
4. Des Moines, Iowa, May
5. Lake Geneva, Wisconsin, July
6. Watersmeet, Michigan (UP), August

That's a lot of travel, especially if you include the 40 minute commute by train every morning on the way to the city. Anyway, I'm off to enjoy the east coast. See you when I see you.
