Faraway Files #109

Faraway Files A Travel Blogging Community

Whether you want it to or not, time flies… January is coming to a close, and I’m still trying to work out where 2019s travel destinations will be. Thankfully I have Faraway Files for inspiration, and I’m beginning to narrow it down… But, with a tween and a teen in the house our freedom to travel isn’t what it once was and with our teen heading off to college in just two years, I can hear the clock ticking on our family holidays.

While the rest of the family can’t always join me I have found time here and there to escape on my own, and this week I’ll be sharing my adventures at Art Basel Miami.

Corey was our host last week and her favorites were:

A Day in Glamorous Opatija, Istria – My Life Long Holiday
One of the best views of the beach resort Opatija in Istria Croatia is from the coastal path
early morning at the farm
Tourrettes-sur-Loup, France – Our World for You
The Town square, Tourrettes-sur-Loup, France
Interrailing in Europe – 1 – Le coin des Bobby

Faraway Files #58

FARAWAY FILES #58

Welcome to this week’s edition of Faraway Files, a fabulous travel blogging community, where people from all over the world share their travel tips, inspiration, and adventures! I think of it as the modern day form of having a pen pal(s)! I’m excited to be to be using our new Faraway Files logo, which includes Corey and I, for the first time!

The holidays are upon us, and while I do love our holiday traditions, its nice to shake things up every now and again, so for the first time in six years, the boys and I will be spending our winter holidays away from home! I’ve assured my younger son that Santa will find us, even in London!

Speaking of which… Faraway Files will be taking a break for the holidays, and will return on January 4, 2018, with Katy as the first host of the New Year!

I’m excited about all the fun things we’ve got planned during our visit to London! In the spirit of discovery I’m sharing my post about things I’ve discovered in my own hometown: Los Angeles! My post 50 MORE Things to do in Los Angeles, is a companion piece to last year’s post 50 Things to do… and if you can believe it we’re already deep into EVEN more things to do in LA!

Just like every week there were many inspirational posts! The following were some of my favorites from Faraway Files #57:

Shades of Courage gives us the scoop on transatlantic stopovers, and I’m already thinking we need to plan our next big destination, just so we can include the Azores on our intinerary!

I know I’ll be in London for Christmas this year, but Esther of Your Dutch Guide’s post about the Amsterdam Light Festival has me thinking ahead to next year’s Christmas destination.

Jacki of Hit the Road Jacki shares 5 of her favorite US National Parks. Her photos are stunning, and reading about them gives you an idea of just how vast the United States really is.

Welcome to another week of Faraway Files! Now that the chaos of Thanksgiving is over I’m ready for the chaos of Christmas. I love this time of year and all the festivity it brings. I may not be in the majority, but I also love holiday shopping, the lights, the Christmas music, and even the crowds of shoppers. This week I’ll be sharing about my recent visit to the LA Fashion District where I picked up a number of fun holiday gifts for my family.

Christmas Decorations California Adventure Disneyland California
It’s Christmas time!

While I love a pretty package, I love an experience even more, especially one that involves travel. This year my family and I will be traveling over the winter holidays and we are excited to see and do many new things!

Check out these recent posts written by my fellow travel bloggers. I’ve been inspired by their adventures, and I bet you will be too!

Catherine from Catherine’s Cultural Wednesdays gets us in the holiday spirit with her post about London’s upcoming Christmas shows. I’m especially excited about this post, as I’ll be in London in the coming weeks, and there are many fun choices.

See the Nutcracker Ballet in London

Annabel of Smudged Postcard is thinking ahead, so if you’re a planner and you need ideas for spring break, you’ll want to check out her post about where to spend the Easter holidays. She mentions many places already on my list of must-see places, and her amazing photos won’t make it easy to choose just one.

Stunning Gozo

Cathy from MummyTravels tells us all about her magical visit to the desert of Oman, a place I admit I never considered visiting, but now that I’ve read about her adventures I’ve been opened up to a whole new world…

I wonder if there’s a magic lamp out there somewhere?
