2019 Travel and 2020 Public Holidays

In 2019 I was fortunate enough to visit 20 countries.  Happy New Year to everyone I met along the way.

Šťastný nový rok! Frohes neues Jahr! Godt nytår! Head uut aastat! Yangi yilingiz bilan! С новым годом! Guten Rutsch! Bliadhna Mhath Ùr! Felice anno nuovo! Selamat tahun Baru! Gott nytt år! Athbhliain faoi mhaise daoibh! ¡Feliz año nuevo! Laimingų Naujųjų metų! Laimīgu Jauno gadu! 新年快樂！ புத்தாண்டு வாழ்த்துக்கள்! 新年快乐!

2020 is a leap-year, with 1 January falling on a Wednesday, which means that we will get 11 public holidays.  11 of 13 public holidays is the most public holidays that can be because if public holidays fall on a weekend you lose them.

With the way that the days fall we will have six long weekends.  I've already got a number of trips already planned including a February trip to Geneva to visit Natalie.  In May I'm headed to the USA for a few weeks to see my niece graduate high school.  It's going to be a busy travel year with trips to Slovakia, North Macedonia, Sweden, Finland, the Åland Islands, Ukraine, Hungary, Romania, Bosnia & Herzegovina, Austria, Germany, France, Russia, Latvia, Moldova, Poland, Vietnam, and Cambodia.
