I could not have wished for a better 2011. As the year winds to a close, my mind is so full of great memories that I can hardly believe they are all contained within the January-to-December window of a single year. From a leisurely New Year’s Day in New York City with my Villanova crew, to adventures in Hong Kong, China, Macau and the Philippines, to very special visits from some of my best friends from back home, the past twelve months have provided me with endless adventure, entertainment and pure pleasure. Looking back, I’m getting a little nostalgic, but I know that 2012 can be just as great. I have high hopes for the new year and can’t wait to see what it has in store for me!
I’m going to send 2011 out with a bang (and kick-start 2012) down in Singapore. I have a good friend, Sonia, who moved from Hong Kong to our economic rival and neighbor a few months ago, so a little end-of-year jet set was obviously in order. In fact, I'm leaving in just under four hours! And I only booked my tickets about an hour ago! I haven't been to Singapore since I went to visit Jamie there in August 2010, so I'm very excited to go back. I hope it's an amazing ending to an amazing year.
As I mentioned, I’m feeling quite nostalgic for the year that is about to end, so I’ve put together “a year in pictures” with one photo representing each month… my year in a nutshell!
