NYC Twice: A Recap of My 2020 Travels

NYC Twice is part of The Lost & Found Year(s) Trip Report.


Each year I’m supposed to update my Where to Party? New Year’s Eve list, which for twenty years in a row featured a new city. This year I will be going nowhere. In fact, this year I will be in the exact same spot as last year.

Only this year, I don’t expect there to be any fireworks.

In terms of travel, I accomplished nothing. I went to New York twice in January and did not add a new country, island, or territory to my Country Count (see Is Hawaii a Country?). That is depressing but for the fact that I have accomplished so much this year (see COVID 2020: TPOL’s Most Productive Year). The reason I wrote this post is to remind everyone including myself how much I used to do and to prepare myself for what I am about to do (see Punxsutawney TPOL: Leaving My Basement Trip Report). Staying at home, despite the gains that I made, is no way to live.

There’s no better way to demonstrate how immobile I have been than by reviewing the directory of Trip Reports.
