While my friend Andy Holmes and I were talking today about our various travels, we briefly touched on the number of different airports we've passed through in one capacity or another. This conversation got me thinking about how many airports I've visited and what a great a subject it is for a map. I counted thirty-two airports, but only nineteen that I used as the origin or destination for a commercial flight. Of the remaining thirteen, seven I have only used to make a connection to another flight and six I have used for private/charter flights. Los Angeles is the only airport that doesn't fit neatly in to one of these category. I flew there on charter flight for the Rose Bowl trip in 1998, and I've connected through on both return flights from Hawaii.

About Me
Pogwatigue Perambulations
Pogwatigue: A Pottawatomie word meaning 'running water.' Early settlers chose this word as the original name for my hometown, Niles, Michigan.
Perambulation: roam, stroll, inspection of an area on foot.
My intent for this blog is to catalog my various local, regional, national, and perhaps someday international explorations. Originally, I found the blog a good vehicle to publish Google maps on the internet and all my initial posts have such a map embedded, but I don't limit myself to that genre. Almost all the posts will have a personal, geographic element. For the title, I chose Pogwatigue due to its ties to my roots roots and perambulations as a fancy, alliterative word to describe the content.
