Okay, when I put it all together, it's not a bad effort for 2012....what was your year like?
Thanks for reading my posts this year, hears to great travels in 2013!
Hope you're having a wonderful holiday! Is Australia as bad as in the U.S. as in once December 25 is over, all signs of Christmas from radio stations and stores disappear? Kinda defeats the purpose of the 12 days of Christmas :)
ReplyDeleteThat photo of Wilson Island is stunning. I'm sold on white sand and sparkling blue water alone.
The fact that you knocked off a whole continent just about is highly impressive but here's to hoping you get to experience your white Christmas sometime in the near future! (We just did in Pittsburgh, it caused quite the traffic snaffu :)
Julie - Merry Christmas to you too, I did try to post on your Holiday post but it doesn't seem to have worked! Yes all signs of Christmas are gone by Boxing day in general!
ReplyDeleteWilson Island was stunning, a great example of glamping! I rally wish we could go back this year but we always try to go somewhere new!
Julie, you're not kidding about Wilson Island looking stunning. I need to visit Australia but the more I see of Rebecca's posts the more I realize that seeing everything I want would probably take a couple of months.
ReplyDeleteKatie, it's the same problem that I have with the US! Many Australian's spend 6 months to a year in a caravan driving around the country and still don't see a big chunk!
