Welcome to the December 2015 Month In Pictures. It was a heck of a busy month. So much so, it took me hours to whittle down the list of pictures this month to a mere 60. I could have gone a lot deeper. Hope you find them enjoyable! I know I had fun taking them.

Some might wonder why a picture of runway lights. Nope, wasn’t nervous at all when the pilot taxied to the end of the runway, turned around and then backed up until the tail was literally hanging off the runway. Then, he pinned it and we were off.

Side note. If you make it to Guadeloupe, you need to make it to Grande Vigie. Totally worth it.

I’ll be doing more than this amount of flying in a crazy 3-day blitz in February to get a head start on American Airlines Executive Platinum status for 2016.
My goal in life is to fill my family’s passports with stamps, creating buckets of memories along the way. You’ll find me writing about realistic ways for normal people to travel the world, whether you’re on a budget or enjoy luxury. I also enjoy taking us on the occasional detour to explore the inner workings of the travel industry.
