Here is my 2011 recap, where I obtained entry stamps from the following cities:
Paris
Kuala Lumpur
Seoul
Barbados
Sydney and Adelaide
Istanbul
.. and no stamps from the following local destinations:
Puerto Rico
Boston
2012 started off with a lovely trip to Barcelona. We then had a great time in Barbados (again) and St. Lucia in April.
Late August/ early September saw me in Europe - San Sebastian, Biarritz and Paris.
I got married in December 2013. Limited vacation days meant travel this year was light. I did fly back to Kuala Lumpur in June, with a quick stop over in Dubai.
Finally, we travelled to Southern Vietnam for our honeymoon - first to Phan Thiet and then to Saigon.
I will be making up for lost time in 2014. January will see me in LA (First time yo!) and in February, I head off to London and Montreal (and it's only the first week of January as I write this!)
Regardless I'm a Type-A planner and my pre-trip research, whilst scary to some, has always paid off. Click on each link where available or email me if you need tips on any of these locations!
Hi Usha: Do you speak French? Is it necessary to speak French if going to Paris? I have heard locals are not very receptive to English. I am going in a few months and wanted to know if I should brush up on French; I took it for a year in high school, so I barely recall anything.
