\"hotel<\/a><\/p>\n

Here are photos of the places I slept in 2016<\/a>. I only took airplanes twice for travel last year (once to London and points south and once to San Francisco) so a lot of these places are closer to home. There was also a treehouse. And a very fancy hotel<\/a> in Boston. And a place with no running water up a mountain near me. And one redeye flight. Lots of multiple visits. Two real vacations. Summer at #dadshouse. Twenty-seven places that were not my place or a family member’s place. You can tell I’ve ramped up traveling when you compare it to last year.<\/p>\n

Eleven states. Three UK locations. Stars indicate multiple visits to the exact same place. AirBnB links for your convenience. Past years: 2015<\/a>, 2014<\/a>, 2011<\/a>, 2010<\/a>, 2009<\/a>, 2008<\/a> 2007<\/a>, 2006<\/a>, 2005<\/a>.<\/p>\n
