Have List, Will Travel: November 2018

Travel Quotes

Mark Twain said, “Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts. Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the earth all one's lifetime.”

“Perhaps travel cannot prevent bigotry, but by demonstrating that all peoples cry, laugh, eat, worry and die, it can introduce the idea that if we try and understand each other, we may even become friends.” Maya Angelou

I would like to welcome new readers to my travel blog. If you are reading this for the first time, then I suggest you first read my introduction which I wrote last November when I started this. It explains why I am writing this and it gives you a little about my background. And most importantly it explains about my list and how it works.

Christmas Ornament Update for 2018

Several years ago I posted an article about my Christmas Ornaments. The article is in the archives if you want to see the original article.

I have been collecting Christmas Ornaments since we lived in the Philippines back in 1979. We didn't have any ornaments with us when we lived there, so I went out and purchased some local ones for the tree. Every since then I purchase an ornament whenever we travel anyplace. My tree is very eclectic. I have a combination of ornaments I have from my travels, as well as glass balls I have on the tree just because they fill in and reflex light, as well as ornaments that I have made and that friends have given me.

The ornaments I collect on my travels are never touristy ones that say the name of the place. Instead I want something that will remind me of the trip, but that is still interesting and pretty on the tree.

This year we travelled more than usual. So I collected a lot of new ornaments. Below are pictures of this years purchases.
