Hello 2026
Hello 2026!
We just returned from our last trip of the year.. it was a doozy, a series of misadventures and I can not wait to post all about it. So get ready for many many more travel posts.
The kids are back to school and we are all back to our regular routines. While I love travelling I also love the routine of everyday life..
This year we visited Peru, Egypt, Puerto Rico, Spain, Argentina, Chile and hoped into Brazil for a few hours. That brings our countries visited count to -
M - 37
Me - 35
D - 30
H - 26
I often get asked how we can travel so much.. well I am self employed so no issues for me and my husband works while on vacation. His people know he is travelling so he is not working his usual hours but he is always checking in, answering emails and even on occasion taking calls and zooms etc.
H turned 12!
I read so many books this year.. listening to audio's has really been a game changer for me.
My first book of 2026 is this cute witchy YA I have had on my shelf for far too long.. I am almost have way through and it is super cute.
Happy Birthday 🎂 to H. He has a beautiful smile.
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year to you and your family, Hena! x

Audiobooks have helped me a lot too! Do the kids miss school during the trips or do you just go during their breaks?

We travel during their breaks. Nov/Dec they get three breaks. Now no traveling till spring break.
DeleteWishing you and your family a wonderful 2026!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a cutie!
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year. I look forward to your next travel report!
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to hear about your latest travels. I read my first book of 2026 too, a short one I got at Winco Foods for $3. Tracy Flick Never Wins. I loved it.
ReplyDeleteYour boys must be some of the most well-traveled in their classes!
ReplyDeleteHappy Belated Birthday to H ! I remember when my son turned 12. It's a great age! Happy Travels!
ReplyDeleteSomehow I don't think you'll be impressed that I've visited 7 countries, LOL!
ReplyDeletehappy birthday!!! Time is flying by.
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year!
ReplyDeleteI love that you travel, and that you share your travels with us. :-)
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year!!
What a precious photo of H. :)
ReplyDeleteBelated birthday wishes to H!! I agree that listening to audiobooks some has been a game changer. Looking forward to the travel stories (and pics!!).
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like a wonderful year and I can't wait to learn more about your most recent "escape" to foreign climes! Plugging away on new books too! I hope it will be a good reading year!
ReplyDeleteWow it's nice you have seen so much of the world. It must give you good perspective on life. Way to go on the books ... and happy belated birthday to H. 12!!
ReplyDeleteAh yes, now it's back to the mundane routine. If you make time for travel, of course you can manage to go. I think a lot of us that don't travel just haven't made the plan and taken the time. I'm sure it gets easier the more you do it.
