Excellent year in travel and our family has, maybe obviously, always valued travel. One long standing personal goal has been to get to outside the US once a year, another goal is #50in60, 50 countries by the time I turn 60, in 2029. This year, I added four countries to the list, the last one being Morocco which was country #32.
