Oh I'm so glad that this is the GTT topic for today! Because ever since I made my life list I've been wanting to make subsequent lists and categories and plans and so forth involving traveling. I bought new suitcases a few months ago in a gesture of optimism that I might soon go on fantastic adventures.
With that in mind, please bear with this meticulously listy post (which will be formatted similarly to Jenny's since I liked the organization of it).
Places I've been in the US (listed vaguely from West to Eastish):
- Hawaii- for many a family vacation.
- California- I live here!
- Oregon- visiting family.
- Nevada- visiting family as a kid so I got to hang out in the deserts and Boulder City and the Hoover Dam. I just went to Vegas for the first time as a grownup in December!
- Arizona- family vacation to the Grand Canyon.
- Utah- visiting family in Salt Lake City a couple times, and a family vacation to Bryce Canyon and Zion Canyon. My family likes Canyons.
- Colorado- visiting family and snowboarding.
- New York- family vacation and visiting friends in Manhattan.
- Massachusets- visiting family in Boston.
- Florida- family vacation to Disney World (and a conference).
- Pennsylvania- visiting friends.
- Washington DC- touristing.
- Connecticut- I almost forgot about this one-- I briefly visited New Haven to interview and look at Yale's nursing program.
- Alabama
- Alaska- I bet I could also see the glaciers (number 16) and the aurora borealis (number 24) there.
- Arkansas
- Delaware
- Georgia
- Idaho
- Illinois- Why didn't I go to Blogher LAST year? Grrrr.

- Europe (number 28)- I'd really like to take one of those trips where you travel around on trains and whatnot and stay wherever the wind takes you. I think this might also be an opportune time to see ancient ruins (number 57).
