So here’s places I’ve been. I’m a four hour flight short of having circumnavigated the globe.
1. This is the area of Alaska where I was born, finished high school, worked summer jobs, etc.
2. The first place I went in Russia was Magadan, a four hour flight from Anchorage.
3. In high school I was an exchange student in Finland for a year.
4. Then I went to college in Connecticut, saw some New England.
5. Saw the new millenium come in Belgium.
6. Every spring during college we went down to Georgia for spring training for crew.
7. After my college graduation there was a family road trip down to Florida to see my grandfather’s sister.
8. My dad’s family mostly lives in New Mexico.
9. My mom’s family mostly lives in Northern Cali.
10. I live in Seattle.
11. Someday I’ll tell about our trip to Nevada, Arizona and Utah.
12. And my parents live in Fairbanks.
13. Oh, the unlabeled vector into Central Asia is Irkutsk, via St. Petersburg and Moscow, my study abroad experience in college.
