My Trip, in Numbers

(And words.)

Sort of - but not exactly - along the lines of a Rachel-y, list-y post...

• Stayed awake for 21 hours the first day
• Skied -  6 lifts, 3 (?) peaks, 1050 skiable acres, 66 runs
• Took 2 buses each way to the mountain, which we selected as the only one which wouldn't require a third bus
• Slept in 4 different people's beds (NICE PEOPLE)
• Taught my brother an eight-count tap dance, comprised of 6 basic steps
• Derived a theory for a universal braid of x strands and attempted a notation for universal braid theory
• Applied universal braid theory to strips of a paper restaurant napkin to create a braid with an x of 6
• Ate nutella and peanut butter sandwiches for 3 consecutive meals
• Recorded 15 video clips 
• Took 3 pictures on my phone
• Had $6 pizza at an Asian pizza buffet house ("Vegetable pizza?  Well, we can take the sausage off of this kind, how's that?")
• Attended a church service with 150 college freshmen which went into FORTY MINUTE overtime
• Learned 2 new games
• Saw 18 new and old friends
• Played with 1 baby
• Found 1 copy of Stephenie Meyer's New Moon at a bus stop
• Attempted to navigate suburban Utah without a car, which included walking 6.25 miles one day and eating trail mix in a Costco parking lot (see? it's like hiking!)
• Caught 4 flights, had 2 layovers for a total of 3 hours, set foot in 6 cities, traveled by 6 modes of transportation

And probably most impressively, considering all the traveling and keeping track of myself, my possessions, my flights/buses, and - occasionally - my brother:  

• Had 0 meltdowns.

'Twas a wonderful trip.  Bless you, Utah.
