How and\/or where would you like to travel next year?<\/p>\n<p>In <a href=\"http:\/\/of.jennism.com\/?p=5292\">2015<\/a>, I went to Brazil for a conference, multiple work trips, and a midwest trip. In <a href=\"http:\/\/of.jennism.com\/?p=4983\">2014<\/a>, I went on multiple weekend trips, increased business trips, and found a destination for ice cream and writing. In <a href=\"http:\/\/of.jennism.com\/?p=4566\">2013<\/a>, I finished off the bulk of the travel for the Ice Cream Travel Guide.  In <a href=\" http:\/\/of.jennism.com\/?p=4145\">2012<\/a>, I started the journey of a life and went to what I thought was unfathomable (in my life) \u00e2\u20ac\u201d six domestic destinations and eight international destinations \u00e2\u20ac\u201d for professional and personal reasons.  In <a href=\"http:\/\/of.jennism.com\/?p=3825\">2011<\/a>, I went on one international trip, one domestic&#8230;and one super local.  In <a href=\"http:\/\/of.jennism.com\/?p=3336\">2010<\/a>, I went on one international trip and multiple domestic trips.<\/p>\n<p>In 2016, I traveled to:<\/p>\n<li>Finland\/Sweden for Interaction 16 where I gave my first huge talk, visiting Northern Finland for jaunts at Santa Village and attempt to see the Northern Lights, one whole day in Estonia, then a whole day in Stockholm, road trip to Jamtland for <a class=\"zem_slink\" href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/F%C3%A4viken\" title=\"F\u00c3\u00a4viken\" rel=\"wikipedia\" target=\"_blank\">Faviken<\/a> and skiing&#8230;not to mention one day in Istanbul (again).  And we went by ferry, car(s), overnight train, cross country skis, downhill skis, trams, subway, streetcar&#8230;<\/li>\n<li>A pseudo-bachleorette party with Chris and my sister in Portland with a surprise visit from our parents<\/li>\n<li>Driving on a road trip to LA for my sister&#8217;s wedding and fooding along the way<\/li>\n<li>Three visits to Minnesota through Minneapolis and Rochester for time at Mayo Clinic<\/li>\n<p>No trip to Italy.  No trip to Seattle\/Portland.  No visit around the United States for a book tour.  So it was less than anticipated.<\/p>\n<p>Next year, I hope that there will be a work-related trip, perhaps to New York.  But there&#8217;s a trip to Phoenix for my friend&#8217;s wedding.  Then a trip to LA in April for a writing conference.  Then a side trip to Big Sur for the writing workshop with Cheryl Strayed et. al!  I am not sure what trips are planned for the rest of the year, but I would have to be convinced.  Perhaps New York?  I hope.  Perhaps somewhere where I could use my points?
