This week marks the 1-year anniversary of my blog, launched with eager anticipation of the cruise of my dreams. It would not turn out to be the year of my world cruise (yet), but this gap year of ad-libbing my life gave me 16 countries, 352 new birds, and hundreds of memorable moments. Here is a recap of some of those moments: The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly.
Best Food and Cheapest Place To Live: Argentina
Hardest Habit to Unlearn: Not Throwing Toilet Paper in the Toilet
Worst Global Habit: Vaping
They are everywhere, sucking their pacifiers and belching clouds of smoke.

It is indeed! Not for all the reasons we want to get media attention, but ok….
BooYah Basia! I’d say this is YOUR very own Eras tour! Instead of friendship bracelets, we all get to see “Our Best Friend Basia’s” Friendship tour from the deck of our homes. The Best Friendship Gift of all times! Carry On, girl friend! ♥️

I love this !!! We have all loved watching you travel for the last year. I am serious… The years you stayed home and went nowhere were boring.. I look forward to seeing all of you adventures so much !!!!! I felt I have traveled all over the world.. I just got home from Montana and I found a whole area I had never seen that was spectacular – I couldn’t begin to capture it on camera the way you do. looking forward to your Blog all the time.
Thanks Shannon. I very much appreciate your comments and knowing that you are out there enjoying it.
Great recap! What a year! Have you added the km travelled? 🧳☀️
Not yet. It’s on my list of things to do when I have some down time during sea days (when we don’t stop at ports).
