I fly from New York to Melbourne via Los Angeles and Sydney (United and Qantas with a sector on my beloved 380!) bringing my flights for the year to 25 from 22 airports in 9 countries on 4 continents with 10 airlines! So much for flying less in 2012! On my Qantas flight to Sydney, my total miles will exceed 1, 200 000 air miles flown in my life (five times between earth and moon) and a scarey 17 weeks inside planes! Check out myFlightmemory for more information. Home briefly before heading to Perth, Western Australia (flight 26 for…

What is Hot in Boston this week?
This week is mostly centred on the US East Coast starting in NYC, heading down to Philadelphia to see family, up to Boston and down to Pittsburgh. Any advice on what is hot in Boston this week?

Summer is over for me! Back into work travel. Tuesday will be my first work trip for 2012! Off to Bangkok this week with Qantas.

Finally, on the Sydney to Bangkok leg I will hit 260 000 km flown with Qantas! Basically thats over 15 times around the earth with them!

The exception was an Air Australia economy flight- check out my Trip Report on them – coming up Tuesday 10th.
Revisiting my 2011 Goals
I set some goals a year ago. Time to revisit them. A number of my plans were thrown out the window by a family illness. Despite not having my intended trips to Turkey or China, I got to my 53rd country. Jordan, Lebanon, Brazil, Korea, UAE, Brunei, Saudi Arabia were the newest countries I visited. I have four states to go to get to all of the 50th US state I did finally get to South America in 2011: I have yet to do the Abel Tasman walk, a stunning 54km (33 mile) hike at the top of the…

I expect to fly at least three new airlines I hope to be able to share all this with you….thanks for being Wild About Travel! What are your 2012 Travek goals? Related Posts: 2011 Flying…
2011 Flying Highlights
I am Wild about Flying and thanks to my friend Tony (see separate story), I have a very accurate record of my travel. This means I know for a certainty, that as at today’s date I have flown 812 times in my life- 111 times in 2011. Question: Do I need to fly 112 times next year? 111 times in a year is about twice per week. In total a scary 412 hours of my year was spent in aeroplanes- two and a half weeks!! Distance Flown I travelled 304 560 km (189 245 miles). That number is…
