Thanks Andrew!

I second Sean on Globespotters:
http://blogs.iht.com/tribtalk/travel/globespotters/

Sean’s “This Just In” for Budget Travel has a snazzy new design and useful stories:http://current.newsweek.com/budgettravel/

I used to like The Economist’s “More Intelligent Life” back when it was a travel blog: http://www.moreintelligentlife.com/node/197
Now it’s just a “lifestyle magazine.”

Thanks for the kind nomination, Marilyn.

Besides seconding our blog, http://travel.latimes.com/daily-deal-blog/, I’d also recommend

http://intelligenttravel.typepad.com/ (NatGeo)

http://www.worldhum.com/ (in this category, since it was acquired by Travel Channel this year)

and

the the user-generated, Editor-curated http://www.everywheremag.com (8020 Publishing), not quite MSM and not quite a
blog’ per se, but all about Travel, visually arresting, informative and always inspirational.

In adventure,

From reading Wendy Perrin it seems that dispensing solid, proven, travel advice–and exposing travel rip-offs–is not so much a job, but a calling. Cheers to that!

Thanks, Tim. If the award were for the greatest number of corporate battles fought and lost, I’d win hands down. It’s a miracle I’m still even writing it.

I’m going to nominate three from USA Today, which — from what I can see — actually values its blogs:

The Cruise Log

Hotel Hotsheet

Today In The Sky

The Perrin Post looks “big media” all right (with a page load time to match), but some good content, especially when the namesake is posting.

Not a big fan of their magazine, but the blog is good.
