The 12 Days of Nextpedition

Nextpedition - American Express Travel
Ed note: As 2011 lays its head and goes down to sleep, it's time for that venerable tradition of Year-End Lists. And for my friend Mona, aka my lucky travel buddy for the wackadoo awesome Nextpedition, that was her experience Numero Uno. So much so, she wrote me a Christmas ditty as thanks. I just had to share... And you can, too. The trips made our Holiday Gift Guide as an Essential Travel Product. --JUSTIN

On the twelfth day of Nextpedition,
AmEx gave to me, 
twelve more travel signs to plan for next year,
eleven rolls of film developed,
ten melancholy hours flying home,
nine whiskey sodas in Bastille hipster bars,
eight (bajillion) steps to climb in Montmartre, 
seven heroes buried in Pere LaChaise,
six hours to get to our Paris hotel,
and five... plates.... of... taaa-paas (at Pla!), 
four hours on a Vespa, 
three hot ass bellboys, 
two biz class tickets, 
and a... vague.... pack-ing... list... to... see......!

Huzzah!
