If it is evidence for MWI, it's exteremely weak, perhaps on the order of epsilon; because in both MWI and non-MWI versions of physics, I don't have any particular reason to have predicted that I would travel to Illinois at all.

You are expressing, basically, a personal anthropic principle. It is NOT evidence for MWI.
