Happy New Year to you! I can’t believe you actually read my blog 
2008 was the year of travel for me. Roughly 26 weekends outside Hyderabad city limits!
I want it to be 40+ weekends this year. I don’t think it will be difficult
This map shows the places I travelled to in 2008.
In 2009 most of the public holidays are on Fridays, ideal for travel. This has to be another year of travel. A greater year w.r.t. travel. I will be travelling mostly by trains and other means of public transport. Very very rarely, I will use flights. Travel = trains. The maximum luxury i will indulge in, is occassionaly booking a 3rd AC train ride back to Hyderabad, in case I have had a rugged weekend and want to be fresh for work on Mondays.
Gorgeous theme… very unlike you too!
