Passport
Monday, November 30, 2009
I got bored today and decided to count the stamps in my passport. I know, I know...yesterday I liked cleaning and today I'm counting things...I'm a dork...
Anyway, so far in 2009 I have added 44 stamps & 2 full page visas. This does not include two trips to the US (NC in June and Hawaii in September) where they didn't stamp my passport.
You've likely read about most of the trips here but in case you forgot, here is a recap:

When I get back from my US trip I will need to head up to the US Embassy to get more pages added to my passport. In addition, I need to get a new visa for entry to India and another for China.
All of the travel has been great but looking at it all listed out makes me realize just how busy I've been. I haven't been in Singapore for longer than three consecutive weeks yet...I may be in Singapore for most of January but already have two trips on the books for the end of January and early February....
What do you think the magic number of passport stamps will be for 2010?

So, according to my rough calculations using straight line paths not including layover stops (like Tokyo between SIN and HNL) you have traveled about 142,667 miles by air this year. Neato.
