    Thanks for the link Christine, I enjoyed the roundup, 'clean up' posts are starting to grow on me. Matt's post is great.

    Right now I'm in between travels, hanging out around home base in the Washington DC area. I'm moving so I won't be traveling in the next month or so, but Christmas season it's looking like I'll be hopping around the US.

    Great roundup Christine. After a hectic week of moving stuff to store at the 'rents, we're now scrambling to get all the last minute preparations together for the trip. Still haven't even started to dig through the inbox. Maybe by tomorrow...

    It feels good to be a gansta! Remember, there is no sex in the hostel kitchen! PERIOD!

    Can I join the anti-AA party? Coz after I returned safely home (via Delta) from my AA incident, I learned they'd been find 7.1 million for FLYING UNSAFE PLANES.

    Yes, I'm shouting. A-hem.

    Thanks for the link Christine, and the pointers to a few blogs I haven't checked out yet, will be having a look now.

    Are AA really that bad? I have to fly with them next year, not something I'm looking forward to!

    Thanks for the mention! I hear your on starting projects, I've been trying to get all my web-sitey projects going. Travellious will be getting some cool features in the future, I've just got to have enough time to finish the things on my plate now (who knew maps would be so hard to perfect? )

    Oh, and thanks for new blogs to read!

    Thanks a million for the link Christine--I haven't seen the bottom of my email inbox in years, but I bet it feels great.

    Matt: not sure hostel sex is gangsta so much as ghetto. Loved that post even as I was Totally. Grossing. Out.

    A great bunch of blogs, I just woke up from a clicking craze and found your site. Just wanted to say it's really good, I'll be catching up over the next couple of weeks... but by then, I guess I'll be behind again!
  • Anthony · 1 year ago
    Yay! You mentioned me! Word of advice... do not spend a night in Puerto Montt...this place sucks. Out!

    Oh, congrats to Hannah! That is amazing...I'd love to hear some of the entries too, especially hers, if the contestants don't mind. I'd love to do a post exchange with you, as well. It's exam time, and I am going crazy. Email me if you get a chance. Your style of writing always catches my eye.

    Also - you can use the random picker to choose your winner, so you don't have to pick whose story is the best! Love your blog...great look.
  • Kara/MountainMama · 1 year ago
    Hey! Don't forget www.TravelingMamas.com for more travel-blog goodies.

    Your feeling "torn" is why we'd never run a "judging" contest -- too hard, too subjective. All our contests are totally random - as determined by an Excel random-number generator (corresponding to comment #). And we're running two good ones, now! :-)

    Congrats to Hannah R! Do you only need 25,000 miles to fly from U.S. to Mexico? I doubt it. Bet she's adding onto her stash...
  • Christine · 1 year ago
    @Kara/Julie

    That's a great idea!! I had no idea those existed. I will definitely use them next time.

    Thanks!

    Thanks for the link and sharing other great blogs! More ways to be inspired...and distracted.

    And yes, sex does sell...throw sex, brothel or prostitute into a post or title and you'll get a good laugh by the google searches you attract. We didn't do this intentionally, btw. I can imagine the disappointment when these peole find an article on Central Asian visas or a skanky hostel in Kazakhstan instead of a listing of the hottest sex clubs in Almaty. Poor them : )
