New Year, New Adventures
January 14-16:  Skiing in Italy January 28 - February 5:  Republic of Georgia February 17-26:  Germany While my actual New Year’s Resolution was to get more sleep (which I am so far making good on), a more fun resolution (or aspiration?) might be to visit a different country every month this year.  So cheers to 2012!  The year I get more sleep!  And maybe do some traveling.
