For the purposes of this accounting, a trip requires that I got on an airplane or stayed in a hotel while not in the Greater Boston Area. For the record I have not stayed in a hotel in the Greater Boston Area during the time period. Lets start with a graph:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/72.233.35.22\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/04\/tripsgraph.png\"><img src=\"http:\/\/72.233.35.22\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/04\/tripsgraph.png\" alt=\"\" title=\"Graph of my 2009-2010 trips to date.\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1200\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nThe blue line is 1 if I was not home (away) and 0 if I was home on a given date. If i was traveling home on a day the line is a 1. The red line is 0 when I am home, 1 when I am traveling for work, and 0.5 when I am traveling for pleasure. Since the red line is on top of the blue, you can really just think of the blue as personal trips.<\/p>\n<p>This tells us that I spent all of October in Boston, a fact I had forgotten. I have been averaging 1.3 trips per month divided between 0.5 personal trips per month and 0.8 work trips per month. <\/p>\n<p>This has lead to a total traveling percentage of almost 32% of days. That is on any given day there is a 32% chance I&#8217;m not in Boston. I would have expected that number to be much higher, but the graph seems to agree with it. If we look only at 2010 only I&#8217;ve been gone for a slightly higher 36%, but I really feel like it&#8217;s been 50%. That&#8217;s the point of the analysis. I now know that 32% is way too high.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I have been averaging more than one trip a month since July of 2009, and it feels like a lot of travel, so I want to record some numbers about it in case I want to compare at some point.
