In 2005, after experiencing a miserably boring New Year’s Eve spent at home, I vowed from then on I would travel somewhere exceptionally fabulous for the holiday. Since it is my favorite day of the year, I feel that it should be celebrated in style!
Here is a look at the places I visited for the last 5 New Year Eve’s:

London, England 2006. We rung in the new year on the River Thames inside a boat. Fireworks were set off from the London Eye.

Madrid, Spain 2007. 5 minutes before this picture was taken my camera was stolen from my pocket. Thankfully, my girlfriend had her disposable camera with her. While my friend took this picture, an unknown Italian man gave me a huge Hollywood kiss for good luck and then turned around and walked away. Guess the night was not a total loss?

Barrosa Valley, Australia 2008. Because of a severe drought, no fireworks were permitted in that part of Australia. This is the wine region of the country, so we celebrated by drinking lots and lots of wine.

Machu Pichu, Peru 2009. The plan was to ring in the new year in Cuzco, however a group of Peruvian women decided to go on strike at the train station and it stopped all of the trains for 6 hours. Thus, we ended up celebrating at the train station.

Rio de Janeiro, Brasil 2010. I cannot imagine a more unforgettable place to spend New Year's Eve! I joined over 3 million people all dressed in white on Copacabana Beach and watched 20 minutes of the most amazing fireworks illuminate the city.
As you read this, I am currently in Paradise Island, the Bahamas. For 2011, I attended a ball with the theme of Alice and Wonderland and then headed to the streets of Nassau for
Junkanoo until sunrise.
I am sending you all big kisses and hugs and hoping that all of your wildest dreams come true in 2011!!!
PS Where is your favorite place that you have celebrated New Year’s Eve in? I am always looking for new places!
