  1. Mine will be in the sparkles of the candles and the crackling of the fire - nice and quite and unglamorous but cozy ;-)

    Wish you a travelicious 2010!

  2. Spending some time in Mexico City and been away from home isn’t easy but, my hubby in England and I will be connected twice to receive together the new year in real time through messenger - having 6 hours difference will be for us excited despite been the other side of the Atlantic but most important knowing we are fine and happy.
    HAPPY NEW YEAR’S TO ALL OF YOU!!! :)

  3. Wow! Australia’s picture is amazing! Thanks for posting

  4. I don’t get around the world much for new year, but love Pittsburg!
