177 nights in a bed other than my own
61,083 miles in the air
83 take offs (and thankfully the same number of landings)
15 different rental cars
Uncounted bags of free, Southwest peanuts
This year looks similar with perhaps fewer days away from
home but likely as many miles in the air.
However, my plan for 2016 is to find a way to bring more camera gear and
share more photos. My project for last
year, however, was more limited to the airports. The collage above (click for a larger view)
is of my shoes in airports around the country.
See if you recognize any from your travels. The carpet in Portland International Airport
(PDX) was changed last year and it stirred up quite a bit of sentimental
feelings in the community. Yes over new
carpet. The airport stores feature a
wide selection of gifts featuring the old (and some with the new) carpet
designs. Mugs, t-shirts, stickers, even
jewelry sport the now mostly replaced carpet (there are still a few pieces
hiding around the terminals).
Look for more travel photography this year and stories from
the road. First up Memphis, TN – the Bay
Area (after the Superbowl) – and Pennsylvania.
Follow the Light,
Will
