Thanks a ton for the speedy response, godsend! I saw several other posts with people asking how to do what I want to do with no response, ill share this with them :-)
The backup to .kml was a bit of a pain, every time I did it it would only export like the title or something .. had to play with it a bit to get it to export (backup) all the locations together. Nevertheless, I got the .kml imported into Google Fusion Tables and its looking good. **One issue: im reading the Fusion Table Setup criteria and its saying "the table must be shared as public" -- is that really necessary? Is there any way to keep the data a little more confidential? I would rather not someone be able to extract all these locations. However, I like the idea of the FusionTables Layer! So in the future, if other companies wish to add their lists of locations, it would be simply another layer?
