Trips Outside the United States
There were so many trips that they are hard to remember, and I have relied on
on my passports, which I kept, and my computer files, which are recent, and
also financial records kept by the Stanford Artificial Intelligence Laboratory.
There are several possible sources of omission. (1) Trips to Canada,
Mexico and the British Virgin Islands which don't require a passport, but I
think my memory of them is complete. (2) The Soviet Union rarely stamps
passports, so my record of trips there and to other places at the time is from
memory. (3) One passport is missing, because it was stolen probably in 1972,
since the replacement was issued in July 1972.

(There were three trips to the British Virgin Islands in the 1970s, of
which I have no record, to visit Professor Edward Fredkin of M.I.T. and
to attend a Board of Directors meeting of Information International, Inc.
I also remember attending the World's Fair in Montreal in the 1960s,
whenever that was. There have also been trips to the Mexican border towns
of Tijuana, Juarez, and Matadero at various times.)
