Glossary 0-9
2016 was a busy year for me. I wanted to make it an amazing one and my dream was fulfilled. I had an amazing 2016, travelling to 6 countries adding 3 new cities to see and explore with Czech Republic , Hungary and Belgium , specifically the cities of Prague and Budapest and some small communities in Flanders in Belgium.
The highlight of my travel was of course my return to my country once again, the Philippines and be with my only child and the visit to the other half of my family in Texas to see my 83 year old mom once again and a bonus which was to be the brides maid for the first time for my sister's wedding which was held in Washington and another bonus for us afterwards the wedding - a road trip from Washington to Texas passing thru 8 American States.
