After seeing the lists made by a numberoffriends, I thought it’d be fun to post my own record of the cities I visited in 2006. I believe the canonical rules state that only cities where I spent the night count, and cities that were visited on more than one discrete trip are designated with an asterisk. Thus:

• Anchorage, AK
• Aspen, CO
• Boston, MA
• Camp Hill, PA
• Cary, NC *
• Chicago, IL *
• Dallas, TX
• Half Moon Bay, CA
• Las Vegas, NV *
• Los Angeles, CA
• New Orleans, LA
• New York, NY *
• Phoenix, AZ
• Portland, OR *
• Sacramento, CA *
• San Diego, CA *
• San Francisco, CA *
• Santa Monica, CA
• Sausalito, CA
• Seattle, WA
• Taipei
• Washington, DC *

Some of those are really exceptional because of the sheer number of times I visited (I live in San Francisco, and visited NYC five times this year, Vegas four, and Sacramento and San Diego three), so I realized the final tally put me in a new city, on average, every other week. I think I’m justified feeling tired about 2006 and happy to be in 2007.
