Taking my time to copy a meme from Dave, here's the list of cities where I spent at least one night in 2007:
- Niskayuna, NY (duh)
- Whitney Point, NY
- Tewksbury, MA
- Mineola, NY
- Boston, MA
- New York, NY
- Holland, MI
- San Rafael, CA
- Calgary, Alberta, Canada
- Cruz Bay, St. John, USVI
- Kyoto, Japan
- Yokohama, Japan
- Takayama, Japan
- Osaka, Japan
We also spent sigificant time visiting Tokyo, Nikko, and Himeji, but didn't spend a night in any of them.
2007 was a pretty busy year. 2008 hasn't really taken shape yet, but I confidently expect to spend time in State College, PA and Lewisburg, PA, along with the usual family visits in MA and NY.

So, as mentioned previously, Kate and I are planning to go to Japan for the World SF Convention, and spend a couple of weeks doing touristy stuff. We're down for about a week in Kyoto, and a week in the Yokohama/Tokyo area (where the con is). Then, there are 3-4 days at the end of the trip that we…
Holland, MI?

Hey, it's bigger than Whitney Point...
I'm using a rather broad definition of "city," here. My friend's summer house on Lake Michigan outside of Holland isn't exactly an urban hotspot, either.
