Time to fill in the travel meme for 2011, as I've finished this year's round of travels (2012's starts bright and early on January the 2^nd...). So, the usual list of places I've stayed at least one night in the last year, with a little * for those that have had more than one night. The list is in approximate order of the first time I stayed there, so some, like Las Vegas, which had multiple trips, were visited several times throughout the year.

This year had fewer long road trips, but a lot of time in the US. Which reminds me... I really must sit down with spikeiowa and plan the road trip fanzine we've been noodling for a while...
