Year in Review

2008 has been a year of seemingly constant motion for me, perhaps the most I have ever traveled in 12 months. The year opened on a beach in Sihanoukville, Cambodia and then went like this: Phnom Penh, Ho Chi Minh City, Mui Ne, Da Lat, Phnom Penh, Stung Treng, Siem Reap, Luang Prabang, Vientiane, Paxse, Phnom Penh, Home in NC, Salt Lake City, Zion & Bryce Canyon, Salt Lake City, St. George, Zion, Bryce and Grand Canyon, Jackson Hole, Yellowstone, Grand Tetons, Eastern ID, Western MT, Jackson, St George, Canyons again, San Francisco, Portland OR, Salt Lake City, Wyoming, South Dakota, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Iowa, Nebraska, Wyoming, Salt Lake City, Portland OR, Dallas TX, Home in NC, LA, Phnom Penh, and finally Siem Reap, where I have been for the last 6 weeks, the longest I've stayed in one place all year!
