Our first trip in 2018 was a biggie; we reached 100 countries visited! We chose Bhutan as our destination for that milestone since it’s the only country in the world that measures Gross National Happiness. But we stopped in mid-Indian Ocean in the Maldives, and in Sri Lanka, before reaching the Himalayas. We also returned to Nepal (after more than 30 years), and revisited China (with a layover in Hong Kong).
