Um... I've been to 23 amusement parks in 14 days, would that be considered geeky?

Does a Disney Cruise count?
What about going to ever Disney theme park within a 1-year period?
I've been to Snoqualmie Falls and Rosalyn for specific purposes. Or, driven down to Fort Point Road to reenact a drive from Vertigo.
I've been to the Con
I went to Peru to see Haley's Comet
I went to see the QM2 meet the QM in LB harbor.

LOL I worked up a quote for someone from the Society of Creative Anachronism and had no idea it was a Ren themed group.

Now I totally understand why she wanted so many tents. She never did call me back, her quote was around $20,000.

For the record, I've been to 13 (many times), 10, & 8.

I've done the near equivalent (also many times) of both 5 and 4.

I'd love to do 11.

I've only done 3 of them, and they don't even seem that geeky to me... (ok, maybe driving to Snoqualmie to see the Twin Peaks locations was a little geeky).

Well, I haven't gone to the Air & Space Museum to see a space shuttle, but I did recently go to the Kennedy Space Center where I got to go inside a space shuttle.

Are there really Borg servers at Quark's? That seems out of character.

Well, I think these places would count, although I haven't been...I would like to, though...

And I would love to eat pork & beans out of a flashlight in the Grand Canyon valley....

On the list, only meeting people from on line and going to the Queen Mary.

How about going to the Ponderosa? That got me a lot of eye rolls and moans from the family, that should count for something.

I've visited Bodie and Calico, I highly recommend them.
