2009? It's a big blur. I'm pretty sure that this was not a record travel year but it was a close second as shown by the miles and points balances in my accounts. For everything that I did, my favorite day has to be the beach outing in Bermuda on Cruise Trek where we drank Dark and Stormy's and kicked back in the sun. That was a good day and good company.

Best flight? The unexpected UA PS first class upgrade to JFK for above cruise. That was fun and all too short due to the tailwind!

Worst day? Don't think I had one. (Don't remind me if I did)

2010? Looking forward to Kenya, Cruise Trek, and Thanksgiving in Vienna!

See you all somewhere in the world soon!

Nestled in a valley between two mountain ranges, it's green, colorful, and everything you could want a place to be when the purpose is total work decompression. No major sightseeing, no expectations. You, a city and a view. It's walkable and small. You've got to look up, left and right,
