BEST DESTINATION OR TRIP NARRATIVE BLOG
This award celebrates the best travel blog focusing on particular destinations, either through local expertise on cities, countries, etc., or through a compelling trip narrative that documents the ins-and-outs of the author’s voyage. Quality writing and/or photography about that location that make you want to book a flight (or train, or ship) as soon as you can.
You may nominate UP TO THREE BLOGS by leaving a comment in this post. (Click here to do so.) If your favorite has been nominated already, feel free to show your love and nominate it again, though a blog only needs to be nominated once to be in contention.

I humbly would like to nominate my own blog –
http://www.travelpod.com/members/djchurch
I’m about two years into what is supposed to be a four year trip that has so far taken me from the Middle East, from top to bottom in Africa, and currently through the Indian Sub-continent.
I think my writing has improved over the course of the blog, and for about seven months had a monthly column in a Canadian newspaper, the Halifax Daily News (now defunct. Not my fault!)
Thank you.

i wrote a 7-week account of a trip i won from Conde Nast Traveler, and it was published on the Perrin Post.
