2013: A Review of My Year in Travel

What a year 2013 was for me, travel-wise! I finally flew enough on American Airlines to hit their top elite tier: Executive Platinum. Blog-wise, I took a few months off while I transitioned to my new site.

As for flights, I took 127 domestic flights in 2013. Here’s a map:

and a map of the 11 international flights I took:

A few statistics:

• A total 93,786 butt-in-seat miles were flown – enough miles to circumnavigate the earth almost 4 times
• I spent 11.6 days or 278 hours in an airplane
• I was at 30 airports in 6 countries
• My longest flight was 4,942 miles (Dallas to Paris, France)
• My shortest flight was 44 miles (Vieques, Puerto Rico to San Juan, Puerto Rico)

It was a year of AMAZING trips:

• Cancún, México
• Seattle, Washington
• Paris, France
• Nantucket Island
• Vail, Colorado
• Grand Cayman Island
• Napa Valley, California

I never thought I would ever hold an actual Emmy, so when I did, I had to make it look real.
