My 2010 Travels... First 10 Months That Is

[Abel]

I've wanted to travel more for the past couple of years I figured that 2010 was as good a time as any to make that a reality. So with that in mind I made my 2010 New Year's resolution to get out and travel more. Just me and my camera seeing the sights! Heck.. I think this is the first resolution I've actually stuck with! Ha!

So far this year these are the cities I've visited:
Los Angeles (CA), Seattle (WA), Las Vegas (NV), Denver (CO), Salt Lake City (UT), Jackson Hole (WY), Chicago (IL), Nashville (TN), New Orleans (LA), Philadelphia (PA), New York City (NY), Detroit (MI) and Washington D.C.

The cities here in Texas I've visited are:
San Antonio, New Braunfels, Austin and Dallas.

Final 2010 Travel Tally:
18 cities
13 states
22 flights
2 train rides
2 ferry rides
5 rental cars
50 nights of hotel stays
17 Blue October shows
1 slightly damaged liver

Since there are a couple of months left in the year, I'm hoping I can add to this list!

Thanks, Abel. So glad you had a good year. It has been a good year for me as well - although my travels were not as extensive. For me, I got back into photography after quitting my job and kicked it off with a trip to Grand Teton & Yellowstone National Parks. I have spent my down time finishing photos from over the years that I never had time to finish. Next year will be even better!

Ill be sure to add some more in a bit as well... =)

Here are a couple of concert pics from the year... I left my camera in the hotel room at most of the shows i traveled to... sometimes its better to just got to the show and enjoy the concert without worrying about "getting THE shot!". hehe.
