Tomorrow I leave camp (sad face) and fly from Albany to New Bern, North Carolina, dropping in at Washington, DC (waving to Jo as I have a forty minute layover time) and Charlotte, NC. Quite glad it’s Washington as then I don’t have to consider the taboo of including a new state in my list of states I’ve been to even if it’s just a hop-thru. That’s somewhat un-kosher or so I’m lead to believe.

Really looking forward to seeing Martin (for the first time in five years) and Ashleigh (for the first time) in New Bern, and getting some ‘vacation’ time in while I’m in the states. I don’t think New York City can really count as in any way relaxing, so some beach time is planned this weekend.

States in rough order of visiting:

1. New York
2. Massachusetts
3. Vermont
4. New Hampshire
5. Illinois
6. Iowa
7. Missouri
8. Kansas
9. Oklahoma
10. Texas
11. New Mexico
12. Arizona
13. Nevada
14. California
15. New Jersey
16. Pennsylvania
17. Delaware
18. Maryland
19. Virginia
20. North Carolina

+ the District of Columbia if that counts.
