Trip statistics

Just got back from an awesome trip to San Jose. Had great seatmates on the flights and a great class. Plus, went to San Francisco one night to boot :-).

Anyway, just for fun, I compiled some stats on where I've trained the most, organized by state. Here ya go:

1. Massachusettes: 11 training trips, 22 training days. A lot of one and two day trips when an extra trainer was needed.

2. California: 9 training trips, 32 training days. The most training days of any state. San Jose is the most common city in CA with three trips. Others are San Diego (2 trips), San Francisco, Los Angeles, Palmdale, and Sacramento (1 trip each.)

3. Texas: 9 training trips, 28 training days. Austin and Houston, 3 trips each, Dalls 2 trips, Ft. Worth 1 trip. Austin & Ft. Worth are two of my favorite cities that I've been to.

4. Illinois: 6 training trips, 27 training days. All in the Chicago area; Chicagoland is the place I've trained most often outside Boston and its suburbs.

5. Ohio: 5 training trips, 14 training days. Cleveland three times, Dayton and Cincinnati once each. I had three trips to Ohio in my first 9 months on this job, leading to joking in the training group that they were going to relocate me to Columbus.

And the rest:

6. PA: 4 trips/18 days. All Philly area.
7. NY: 4/17. 3 Rochester, one Buffalo.
8. MD: 4/16. 3 Columbia, one Aberdeen.
9. Sweden: 4/10. Stockholm, Gothenburg, Linkoping, and Trollhattan.
10. MN: 3/12. All Minneapolis.
11. CO: 3/11. Two Denver, one Ft. Collins.
11. DC: 3/11. Doesn't include the one in the Virginia suburbs.
13. NM: 3/10. All Albuquerque.
14. VA: 2/9. One Newport News, one Falls Church (DC suburb)
15. FL: 2/8. One Pensacola, one Cape Canaveral.
16. Quebec: 2/7. Both Montreal
16. NC: 2/7. Both Raleigh.
18. NJ: 2/6. One Annandale (20 miles east of Phillipsburg), one Mt. Laurel (Philly suburb.)
19. Webex: 2/4. Training given on-line.
20. UT: 1/5. Salt Lake City.
20. NV: 1/5. Las Vegas.
22. IA: 1/4. Cedar Rapids.
23. Ontario: 1/2. Toronto suburb.
23. AZ: 1/2. Phoenix.
23. MI: 1/2. Midland.
23. CT: 1/2. Trumbull.
27. WI: 1/1. A one-day trip to a Milwaukee suburb.
28. MO: 0/0. Just to let you know that you need to visit me, Rusty, since me getting to Missouri isn't happening :-).

That totals 88 trips and 292 days, for an average of 3.32 days per trip.
