My year in cities (and airports) 2008
Posted by Gypsy on Dec 30, 2008
I tried to do this last year, but completely forgot to keep track and when I went to do it at the end of the year, couldn’t remember everything. So instead, I spent the last year updating this post as I traveled. Off the top of my head, in 2007 I went to New York City, Los Angeles, Las Vegas, London, Edinburgh, Venice (Italy), Red Bank (New Jersey), Brainerd (Minnesota) and Syracuse (New York). I also went to a bunch of new airports on the 36 flights I took to various location.
So that was last year. Now lets take a look at where I went this year:
Cities and places
Brainerd, Minnesota
*Lawton, Oklahoma
*Oklahoma City
San Diego
Las Vegas
New York City
*Charleston, South Carolina
*West Point, New York
*Twenty-Nine Palms, California
Airports
Minneapolis Saint Paul International Airport (MSP)
*Dallas Fort Worth International Airport (DFW)
Rochester International Airport (ROC)
Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport (ATL)
*Cleveland Hopkins Airport (CLE)
Ontario International Airport (ONT)
John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK)
McCarran International Airport (LAS)
*Charleston International Airport (CHS)
San Diego International Airport (SAN)
Los Angeles International Airport (LAX)
Phoenix Sky Harbor Airport (PHX)
Buffalo Niagara International Airport (BUF)
Chicago O’Hare International Airport (ORD)
All totaled, I took 43 flights throughout the continental United States. At this point, I would love to never see another airport or airplane interior ever again. So instead I say it’s time for people to start visiting me. Already I have a few people planning to come visit in 2009, but I say the more the merrier.
So who’s comin’ to see me?

After a year of changing my hair color from brown to pink to blue to purple to blond, I’m finally ending the year the same way it started. With black hair. I don’t know why I ever go blond when dark colors always look best.
Why it’s a good thing we don’t want children…

(said while patting Andy on the head) “duck duck goose”
“What the hell is duck duck goose? It’s duck duck greyduck.”
“What the fuck is duck duck greyduck? Everyone says goose”
(this goes back and forth for about 2 minutes)
(while pulling out his computer) “It’s greyduck and I’ll prove it”
“By checking on the Internet?”
(Googling ensues - leading to this)
(me, laughing uncontrollably) “Apparently the only people who say greyduck are people from Minnesota”
cue ten minutes of me laughing my ass off and Andy pouting.
All settled…

So we are finally moved into the new house. Or at least as much as we can be at this point. In the last week, we’ve bought a new TV, a washer and dryer, and DVD shelving; all of which have broken us for now but do give us that nice settled in feeling.
Here’s a shot of the new TV. For the rest of the photos, click here.
