2012 - what a fun year
I can't believe a year has gone by. On December 30, we moved across the world to Asia..... Singapore to be exact. We spent most of January discovering our neighborhood, our bus and metro routes, and shopping for food and household items. Everyday was a learning experience!
Our first trip was Bangkok, Thailand in February. We ended up visiting Bangkok 4 times over the year. I calculated a few fun facts about our travels:
Countries visited: 10
China, Indonesia, India, Laos, Malaysia, New Zealand, Russia,
Thailand (5x), US (2x), Vietnam (2x)
Continents: 4 (well, if we count New Zealand)
Hotels: 28 (34 for D)
Airplane flights : 40 (52 for D)
Nights away from home: 117 nights
We selected a favorite photo from each place we visited. If you click on the country link in red it will take you to the full post on the trip.
Our favorite??? SO hard to pick. We can say the elephant ride in Laos was the highlight for the year. And the surprise sight was the Taj Mahal, which was absolutely stunning in person. A must see!

More on Laos in January
We can't wait to see where 2013 takes us. So far, we have trips scheduled for Myanmar, Bangalore (India), Ho Chi Minh, Bangkok, Bali, and Jakarta. On my quest to reach 50 countries by 50 - I am at 48, I am pretty sure I will make it in 2013 (D is already at 50).
Happy New Year to you! A big "thank you" for taking the time to stop by our blog to read about our travel adventures. We hope it inspires you to see the world!
Cathy, as I read this post I think back to each one of these adventures you have so graciously shared on your blog and it is hard to believe that was all in just one short year.
I am wishing you and D a very happy, healthy New Year and cannot wait to read all about it!
