I believe it is expected that you provide travel dates for trips
during which there is a record, such as a fliht.
The objective of this question is to ensure you have not been
out of the country more than 6 month cumulative time, in the
last five years, before applying to be a citizen. (a requirement
that you haven't been out of hte country more than six months.)
