I've been to all those places (including asleep on a west coast-Europe airplane, albeit not those particular termini), except: Ottawa-Gloucester, Montreal, Munich.

We were in Munich earlier in the year.

Did you get to see anything of the city or was it a flying visit?

I was there for a week (well, technically a week minus a bit; my inbound arrival was scheduled at 1055 on Saturday and my outbound departure was at 0940). However, it was a work visit; the only sightseeing I had time and energy for was on Saturday after arriving walking around the area between the hotel, the office, and the Hauptbahnhof (in order to get sunlight to help my body clock shift) followed by most of the day Sunday (Hofgarten/Deutsches Theatermuseum, DenkStätte Weiße Rose [though the exhibition wasn't open], the Deutsches Museum [outside only due to low energy, but I got to investigate the ship screw you'd photographed during your trip], and the Christkindlmarkt). I did get over to the Tollwood festival one evening with some of the local staff, at least.

I generally prefer to stretch work trips to MUC over both weekends where I can, but timing constraints made that not practical (and my next one will also be fairly constrained, sigh).

Novi and Southfield, MI? I have lost track of which conventions meet where. (I used to have more relations in that area.)

ConFusion (though it'll be in Dearborn this year) and Penguicon, respectively.

Steilacoom — really? When I was little, kids used to invoke Steilacoom to scare one-another. (The state mental hospital was there, and it was an unenlightened age.)

Technically, Western State Hospital is just outside of town in what is now the city of Lakewood...but yes, really.
