My Year in Cities 2009

By Barry Ritholtz - January 3rd, 2010, 3:00PM

Over at kottke, Jason looks at where her traveled to this year: Places where he spent one or more nights.

Between business and book related travel, my list for 2009 is probably bigger than any 5 prior years in my life, combined:

Boston, MA

Detroit MI

New York, NY

Los Angeles, CA

Vancouver, BC Canada

Chicago, IL (2X)

San Francisco, CA

Santa Rosa, CA

Dallas, TX (plus Austin for a day)

Ft. Lauderdale, FL

Berlin, Germany

Indianapolis, IN

Grand Lake Stream, ME

If we include sleeping on a boat in a harbor, I can add these cities:

San Juan, Puerto Rico

Philipsburg, St. Marten

Turks & Caicos

Frederiksted, St. Croix

Gustavia Harbour, St. Barth

St. John’s, Antigua

Oranjestad, Aruba

My resolution for 2010: Less travel !

How come no trip to Philly?? You have a very decent following from the area I think!

BR: I was in Philly, and Washington DC — both were daytrips . . .

OT – This Bernanke speech is all over the place.

“Bernanke Says Low Rates Didn’t Cause Housing Bubble”

He is saying it was a regulation issue.

Is he forgetting that Greenspan gave a speech 2/23/04 saying “American consumers might benefit if lenders provided greater mortgage product alternatives to the traditional fixed-rate mortgage.”

Puerto Rico, St. Marten, Turks & Caicos, St. Croix, St. Barts, Antigua, Aruba – I wish I could cover that over 3 years!
Was that a boat or a private yacht? If the latter, I’d never make a resolution to travel less….

Hope I didn’t miss a speaking engagement here in Indianapolis – would have loved to have seen you speak if that is what you were doing in town. All the best in 2010.

If you’re interested in taking Mrs. BP somewhere nice and perhaps want to unplug for a bit, my favorite lodgings of the last three years are: La Paloma Lodge, Drake Bay, Costa Rica; Dilly Dally House (the cottage), Kapaa, Kauai. You don’t appear to be the camping type. But if so, might suggest ShiShi Beach, Olympic NP, in August.
You didn’t mention your own favorite overnight stop of 2009- ? Thanks for a great blog.
