Happy 15th Anniversary!

It started out in 2005 on a whim. 15 years and 1,725 posts later, my blog is still alive. Happy Anniversary!

I'm in a bit of disbelief at how I've stayed committed to this project and kept on writing for a decade and a half. I just did the math and I'm averaging 115 posts per year or almost 10 posts a month. Where did I find the time to do all this? LOL

Here are my most viewed posts:
Brunei: Travel tips and Suggested Itinerary
Segovia's Cakes and Recipes
LABArya Do It Yourself Laundry
Conti's Strawberry Shortcake
A fantasic family dinner in La Cocina de Tita Moning

And this continues to be my favorite post: Photo finishes at the train station - part 2. I also still find my snowy slip-up in this post pretty funny: [SWEDEN] Where the hell is Frosty?

I updated the list of all my travel posts that I wrote in my 10th year anniversary post. I have now added links to my travel posts after March 2015.
