Follow the Bouncing Dan

So my travel plans for the next five weeks are starting to come together. From October 29 to December 4, I plan to fly 26,600 miles on 15 flights between 10 airports in 5 countries on 3 continents, pick up 2 more visas and perhaps a half-dozen more stamps on my passport, take 2 short and 2 overnight bus rides and 4 train rides, spend 7 days visiting friends and 11 visiting family, and 11 days at the U.N. Climate Change Conference. :)

I can't understand why you all don't perceive this as normative...
