Located south of the tip of India, Sri Lanka is just a bit larger than the US state of West Virginia but is among the most biodiverse in Asia. We can spend time visiting with Jay's two sisters as well as trips to see some of the amazing geographical variety. It has been six years since I was last on the island and my visits have not equally spread out over the years.
On a trip to Ratnapura, Sri Lanka in 2004.
At nearly 60 years old, it is beginning to get difficult to remember many specifics of our copious number of world journeys. I decided to figure out the number of times I've been to the tropical country and the total length of time spent there. I am thankful that I've been typing data into my eJournal and images for nearly 16 years. I was able to sort through the most recent four visits. I had also mentioned the other four early trips.
Here's my resulting chart showing I've been in Sri Lanka eight times for a total of 10.25 months:
| Year of Visit | Month(s) Spent |
|---|---|
| 1986 | 0.50 |
| 1987 | 2.00 |
| 1988 | 0.50 |
| 1991 | 0.25 |
| 2004 | 2.00 |
| 2006 | 1.00 |
| 2009 | 1.00 |
| 2012/13 | 3.00 |
| Total Months | 10.25 |
I am looking forward to pushing the total time spent in Sri Lanka to over one year of my lifetime.
