Travel Recap of the Second Quarter of 2018

The travel recap of 2018 continues with spring and summer trips that included a new destination and two of my favorite cities in the world:

April 2018

This year marked a special family celebration – my parents’ 40th wedding anniversary. They wed in Hong Kong so naturally, we brought it back to where it all began.

Here were the articles from Hong Kong:

May 2018

I took the month off from traveling in May to catch up with my nephews and niece before they left on their summer vacation. The month was also my opportunity to reset, cleanse, and catch up with my own health and physical fitness before a full summer of travel.

June 2018

My travel goal each year is to discover a new destination, whether that is a new city or even a new country. Copenhagen, Denmark was this year’s new city and new country to add to my list. Plus, that was combined with a trip back to my favorite European city, Madrid!
