Stickers On Our Luggage

One of the amusing features that Earl posted regularly for us was a list entitled "Stickers on our luggage", a listing of all the worlds that the group travelled to aboard the Pantope. In later editions of this, he kept track not only of the places, but of the time as well. This is the final Pantope Stickers on our luggage, from a Pantope.Notes entry dated November 27, 1989:

Here is a final summary of all the places we've been since boarding the pantope:
