Well, I think we're ready for a New Year. I'm not an expert on good things or bad things like economies, inflation, changing cultures and other events or other stuff that can affect our daily lives. However, like all Vagabonds, I'm ready to look ahead and go forth to places yet unseen and old places that changed my mind set or my thinking about other cultures, and so many small things to experience and see.
For example, sitting on the terrace and enjoying a mid-afternoon meal of cheese, prosciutto, freshly baked bread, and Italian wine at Castello di Tornano, a small boutique hotel created from a 1,000-year-old castle about an hour from Firenze, with vineyards as far as the eye could see is so etched in my mind and heart, I will always have great memories of a trip that changed me and my perfect travel companion for over fifty years - Susie.
Whether you will be at a big party or just quietly sitting at home enjoying life and the coming New Year - Here comes 2024!
First up - From 1980 - No. 1 on the US Billboard 100 - Kool & The Gang - Celebration!! This tune just makes you feel good!
FOOTLOOSE! - This will make you get up and move!
As only Michael Bublé can do - HIGHER - Great singing - great dancing!
And to end the evening on a more Romantic note. One of the most unique groups performing today - POSTMODERN JUKE BOX - WHAT ARE YOU DOING NEW YEARS' EVE?
So, see ya next year Vagabonds. Hit the road, catch a flight, jump on a boat, or roll on a train to old places and new in 2024!
Happy New Year!!
