I really can't believe we're almost at the end of 2018. The year seems to have flown by, but it's been filled with wonderful times spent discovering new places, and re-visiting wonderful countries.  As you prepare to ring out the old, and look ahead to 2019, make sure you take a moment....life passes us all by so quickly, so pause....reflect...and then party! Thanks to everyone for supporting my little travel blog over the years. I wish you all a happy new year when it comes. xx

As this is my last blog post before the 25th of December, it's a simple message.

From Travel Lightbulb.....have a wonderful Christmas! xx
