December 31 2011 - Resilience

I was really surprised to see a rose on last day of December. There was definitely not any sunshine, but a rose that has perservered a low of 16 degree.

So Year 7 is done, onto a relaxed year 8 – Two fairly big trips are planned this year. The first will be to the Island of Skye and a few days in London. Hopefully, a second trip to Norway and Iceland with my two nieces.

Few Fun facts about 2011 



Last year, my goal was to spend more time at home and less time in US Airway hubs waiting for airports.

Failed that one.

49 Segments just on US airways with a total of 44949 miles (just missed the next level of preferred status by about 6000 miles). I am closing in on a million miles on US Airways!

The trend—

2010 32,557 miles
2009 26,421 miles
2008 26,689 miles
2007 55,002 miles
2006 53,072 miles
2005 40,444 miles

So where did I go?

Washington DC (5 times), Baltimore or hotel at BWI airport for a meeting (3 times), San Diego, Denver, Seattle, Tampa, Clearwater, Philadelphia, Lancaster, Austin, Vancouver, San Francisco, New York City, and my favorite trip photography in Glencoe, Scotland and London, England.



Happy New Year!
