You went to places everyone craves for! 🙂 I wonder where the wind takes you this year.
Hi Bama,
Happy new year to you! Have a few places in mind to visit this year, but may not have the $$ to fulfill LOL….

Fantastic photos and what great memories. I am sure many of those places are in most people’s wish list. What are you heading in 2014?
Hi there,
Happy new year to you! i’m in the midst of day dreaming my travel list for 2014. and will publish it in these few days. I might need kind souls to wake me up from my dream hahahah….

Sounds familiar. Daydreaming is good if it helps you plan where you would like to go even if you don’t et there this year…maybe you will sometime soon. 🙂
Ya, i think so too. How about you? have you made ur list?
TWB
So far, the list includes Berlin, Iceland and Italy. We would love to visit Istanbul as well and maybe a trip to Greece. Think it will be all about Europe this year before heading to New Zealand and Australia in 2015! 🙂
Yum!! Iceland and Greece!! sounds so tempting 🙂
