As a new year approaches it is always fun to look back on highlights for the past year. This is a list of the "Top 10" threads based on replies. It is great to see so many folks sharing their photos and experiences with all of us, allowing us to travel and see places we may otherwise never be able to experience. Thank you to everyone who contributed photos this year, be it 1 or 100.
We hope everyone has a Happy New Year, gets to travel to places that they have not seen before, and above all are blessed with good health and great times with family and friends.
