So I made this map of all the places I've been to.

I didn't count anything I just drove through, otherwise this map would be packed. Theres 99 pins total and green ones are places I live / lived, granted, the north east is so packed you cant see the green ones up there. lol.

I really need to work on filling in this map though... And expanding.

What cool places has Oppo been to?

Come to Tulsa for a beer (my treat), and then taste the backroads of NW Arkansas, take in a Cards game in St. Louis, and head straight to South Dakota. From there head west into Yellowstone.

Wait. You've never been to Colorado?!

I know right. I've lived an hour from the UT border for over 3 years now and I have never once crossed the border. Not even to drive through...

Ive been through, but never stopped more than for a highway rest stop or gas fill.

I've also been through Tulsa and much of OK but again, other than highway stops, never 'visited'.

You seem well traveled. I meanwhile haven't been to too many places, but I'm young yet. I've visited the usual suspects LA, Florida, and Vegas. Been to two NASCAR races one at Daytona and one at Indianapolis. The Disney parks, and that's about it. I've lived in three places here in Minnesota, Ft. Sill, OK, and Bad Kissingen, Germany.

Tulsa's great and the roads in Arkansas can be epic, but make sure to get to Yellowstone, South Dakota, and find a nice destination in Colorado, too.

when? My dad was involved in training there. He wasn't a DS but he was above them I cant remember what that was specifically right now. Anyway that was the early nineties. I liked living on base as a kid. Helicopters, Museums, and Artillery.

I'm Jealous.

Aparantly enough to capitolize it.

that is pretty jelly. I've been very fortunate. Working for an airline helps too.

The travel I have done has taught me that the world is a pretty great place. Most of the places I have been have been filled with cool people. I have also found that most people, wherever they are, want about the same thing. A safe place to live, food to eat, meaningful work and oppertunities for their children.

I would like to make a map like this only to inspire me because I aint been very far.

I have a friend whom also works for a major airline (although not a pilot) and has been fortunate enough to travel all over the world.

I kept going after I posted this, with red dots being places I want to go (and its not finished yet) to remind me to get out and explore.

I'm not flight crew either. Still a great benefit though. You have to have the right kind of personality for it.

Last weekend was pretty awesome.

First off, Tim Horton's. Enough said.

Also, Fisher-Price.

Oh, and we visited a racetrack.

log into your gmail account, go to maps.google.com in the lower right corner click the gear icon, click "My Places" when that window loads, to the left under the address bar it says "or create with my maps classic" click that and the tool bar will appear on the map which lets you place the markers.

Aruba was fun, but we did one of those all inclusive, which taunts you to stay at the hotel more than get out and explore. We still went out a little, rented a little 4WD Suzuki for a day and went off roading in it haha.

1st Sergeant would be my guess. I was there pretty recently in 2010. I loved the Museum its collection is top notch.

Ah, you did the Arikok National Park in a SJ or Vitara. Always impressive to see how such a nimble non-diesel 4WD can take you places beyond expectation!

No he was a captain. BCT Company commander I think? anyway He'd alternate between that and Artillery training. He would take me to their outdoor display a lot.

Oh cool on the Commissioned side. So a BCT battery Commander, that is awesome.
