And I’m still pushing for the People’s Choice Award for Mark and Upgrade: Travel Better!!
February 7th, 2007 at 3:29 pm |
Thanks, Benet, James, and Wendy, for the kind words about Upgrade: Travel Better, but as you know, I’m ineligible for any Travvies, since I’m hosting the awards. But your sentiments are very much appreciated!

somehow, strangely, after raving about my favorite travel blog in the whole entire world, the name of the blog was mysteriously left off my comments! Is this international espionage?
a conspiracy? Well, let me just re-state, I LOVE www.travelsweeps.blogspot.com. I mean, seriously, it IS the best
February 11th, 2007 at 4:09 pm |
I second and third the comments on www.travelsweeps.blogspot.com, beautifully written, intelligent, and informative

A great place to indulge my fantasies without spending any money. I can dream, can’t I? Someone has to win these contests and finding them all in one place makes it easy to cast my fate to the winds of cyberspace.
