that is a good plan. travel is close to everyone's heart. it is so much fun and you get to experience different cultures.
we all want to travel while we are young and still have endless energy.
I think I should start out by making some plans for Costa Rica anyway in 2014. it is close enough and it will not cost an arm and a leg.
I will do some mountain biking there if I go and I will post the pics here.
I have the Qatar exxonmobile open (Doha) timer up on the top. that is just 5 days away now.
one superstition that I have heard of regarding the new year is that you don't want to get sick or something on the first day of the new year.
I guess it must lead to more episodes of sickness during the year according this superstition.
Merry Christmas to you all. Have a safe and warm holiday wherever you are.
Am just waiting for my friends, sister, cousins etc. to arrive but they won't be here until 6:30pm. Serving finger foods and drinks only but plenty of it.

LONDON: Over 50,000 homes in Britain were without power on Christmas day following recent storms, while hundreds of people were evacuated due to flooding. In parts of the United States and Canada, meanwhile, nearly half a million customers faced a cold and dark Christmas after a weekend of snowstorm.
Severe flood warnings were issued in Britain after torrential rainfall and hurricane-force winds battered the country.
In the US, the worst-affected state was Michigan, with about 180,000 homes and businesses still without power, utilities companies said.
In Canada, five people were reported dead from apparent carbon monoxide poisoning caused by heaters.
Fifty thousand homes across the UK are still without power on Wednesday morning, the Energy Networks Association said.
Five people — including a man who tried to rescue his dog from a river — have died in Britain over the last three days due to the high winds and heavy rainfall.
Maine, with its far smaller population, was badly hit. More than 70,000 customers in the Pine Tree State woke up on Christmas day without electricity.

How horrible. Even more reason to be thankful that we all woke up today.
Yeah, it hasn't been a good Christmas for sure. A few people died and a lot of them are still in the dark, without heat and hot water.
I've been cleaning since last night as some guests stayed over and also, Zayan wasn't feeling well as he threw up several times including on my couch. Poor thing got a bad cough since last week and can barely keep anything in his stomach.
Yesterday, it snowed all day but today it's looking slightly brighter as the sun is out. I hear though that there's another system moving in but won't be here before January.
TT, it wasn't a snow storm but an ice storm which is deadlier than general snow storms.
morning sports fans.
interesting day in Abu Dhabi tomorrow.
