To mark our first 6 months of marriage, Ryan and I took our wedding cake toppers on a meta-adventure through our past travels. Well, mainly we wanted to defrost the cake and eat it early but it remained frozen most of the night, so this is what we did instead.
If you haven’t already, please donate to relief efforts already on the ground in Haiti:

Any Mountains Beyond Mountains fans out there?

Or probably the most easiest option: text HAITI to 90999 (only $10 donation) to Red Cross earthquake relief efforts. Every little bit helps!

Summary:
- View my Dopplr travel profile with Flickr photos.
- I traveled a total of 81 days and hit 20 cities this year!
- Though modest to some, for the first time Ryan and I both hit 50K miles/each.
- We spent 3 astonishing weeks in the South Pacific for our honeymoon <3.
- San Francisco and Chicago continued to be hot spots for my business travel.
- I actually traveled more for leisure than work, especially due to my fall sabbatical.
- Over the last 3 years I’ve been on 78 trips–and I’m so not tired yet!
- That all said, I’m now hankering to leave the continent again (exceedingly so).
So here’s to what 2010 holds. Merry travels, all!
Something has changed within me
Something is not the same
I’m through with playing by the rules
Of someone else’s game
Too late for second-guessing
Too late to go back to sleep
It’s time to trust my instinct
Close my eyes: and leap!
Just found out this deck Marissa put together is available on SlideShare. I had the privilege of presenting with her at the Razorfish Client Summit in Vegas last April. The idea was to present a few simple ways clients could begin utilizing the data they already have to formulate insights and data-driven decisions to improve performance.

Ryan posted the last of our honeymoon photos! These shots are from the last leg of our South Pacific adventure. After Fiji and Australia, we stopped by Maui to visit where Ryan first proposed. I ♥ Hawaii. Can’t wait to find out where we’ll end up next.
Jamie Y blogs to archive her experiences and travels. Mainly she moblogs photos of food. She resides in Seattle, WA.
