This past year was a whirlwind.  While life in between travel pulled in many different directions, leaving little time to write and share, I am grateful to end the year by reflecting on some of the many highlights, from a family trip to Bath, Stonehenge and London to a much-anticipated return trip to Greece that was 10 years I the making.  I hope to get “caught up” soon before 2026 follows in the same rapid footsteps as its predecessor.  The clock is already ticking as the bases are loaded, so to speak, with much anticipation for travel plans that are already in the works.

Here’s to a new year filled with good health and new adventures!
