2011 travel wrap-up and 2012 travel plans
Where all did you travel to in 2011?
What are your 2012 travel plans?
Wishing you all a safe and Happy New Year! 
Re: 2011 travel wrap-up and 2012 travel plans
Where all did you travel to in 2011? For the first time in awhile we didn't really travel anywhere in 2011. However, we recently moved to a new area of the state and took advantage of discovering local places to hike and do outdoor activities.
What are your 2012 travel plans? We're making up for not going anywhere in 2011 and using a bunch of saved vacation time.
We're going to Europe this spring for a month. The plans aren't set in stone, but we'll definitely be visiting Berlin, Munich, Krakow, Prague, and Budapest along with a few other small cities along the way.
Wishing you all a safe and Happy New Year! Happy New Year to you too!
2011: Vegas for a Weezer show, Healdsburg, Amsterdam and Paris, the Hamptoms, Louisville for a wedding, Kauai, Phoenix, and Mumbai.
2012: March: Sonoma, Phoenix; May: NYC; June: Japan (expect to see lots of posts with questions from me!); September: Maui.
Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts. Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the earth all one's lifetime.

In 2011, I took my girls on a trip to Disney World to celebrate DD #2's 5th birthday (#1 had gotten a WDW trip as her 5th bday gift as well). We did it a few months earlier than the actual birthday so that we could meet up with my sister and her family. We also headed to NJ a few times to see the grandparents.
No travel plans in 2012 unless you count a few car trips to visit family. We're doing a *major* renovation on the house that has been in the works for 2 1/2 years, so all spare money is getting thrown at that and the only reason I'm going anywhere is to escape the worst of the construction!
*Live, Love, Laugh, Learn*
Travel Adventures.
2011: Oahu, Maui, Seattle (just me to see family), Boston and Mexico
2012 bare minimum: New Zealand, Seattle (both of us) and the Grand Canyon
