Eventually I hope to build this into a real resource for travelers and would really appreciate your visit, your comments and your 'diggs'...

| | Visit the Travel Blog at RealTravel.com! | | 2007-07-23 07:37:39 | | I love reading about other people’s trips around the world. At the RealTravel.com travel blog, you can read about all kinds of places around the world, as well as get recommendations on hotels, restaurants and things to do when you visit cities and countries around the world.
All of the travel blog’s resources are FREE! Additionally, the information is presented in a friendly and easy to understand format that makes deciding where to travel - or just daydreaming about world travel - easier! On the right-hand side of the page is a list of categories, so you can narrow your search down to topics like “Family Travel”, “Festivals and Holidays” or “Mexico.”
Every review includes beautiful pictures of the places and sights to see! I can picture myself in the Tortuguero National Park in Costa Rica, cruising down the river and admiring the flowers, trees and wildlife.

| | Real travel blog | | 2007-07-17 18:30:39 | | One of the wonders of sponsored posts like this is that you often get paid to write about stuff you’d have written about anyway….
Real Travel hosts a travel blog which, as its name suggests, is a collection of blog entries from real travellers. For example, from today’s edition which I’m leafing through there’s a 10-day trip to Turkey which gives an excellent route for those wanting to sample that very diverse country. Just prior to that there’s an Asian top-10 .
That sample gives a reasonable feel for the site ie it’s one for travellers as opposed to tourists. The difference is very obvious in the representation of Asia and South America, both popular destinations for travellers but much less popular in tourist circles. You’ll also be more likely to find places mentioned here that aren’t in the tourist guidebooks which, of course, is one of the strengths of the site. Sure, you’ll want to see the tourist sites but you&rsquo | | By: Foreign Perspectives | | |
| | Best Photography on a Travel Blog | | 2007-02-18 15:40:00 | | 2007 Travvies Nominations: Best Photography on a Travel BlogSome blogs focus more on the visuals than the writing. This award celebrates the best in visual media on a travel blog.Posted in order of nomination.Exposed Planet: Not a photo a day here, rather Harry Kikstra's collection of landscapes, mountains and South America. Starting from the image on the index page, you have to work backwards or click on one of the categories. As Harry is a mountaineer, he gets up to the places that not many people go. Too many close-ups of faces though.Michael Simon On The Road:New York City to South America overland. The photographs are too linear for my liking and lacking in descriptions. Some editing and better use of the material would have helped. Since this has been moved from blogger to its own domain, Michael needs to get into his document source and correct the feed URLs in the head tag.Notes From The Road: There is some excellent use of compelling photography as background images, blending into introductions to various regions. There's a lot of content around the site in general. Using links in the RSS feed is not so compelling though; especially as some of the different feed headlines linked to the same article.Fred Miranda:An overall stylish presentation from Digital Darkroom, presenting their 'weekly assignment' winners together with product reviews. There were over 1,000 'photographers' online when I looked - some 400 of them registered members. Each snippet links to the other entries in the assignment (viewable to guests) but non-members can't access the WA board and there's no RSS feed. Not really devoted to travel but more to photography with some images that could be considered travel-related.lifevicarious - pixelpost: I'm afraid a 'daily photograph' with technical camera details and no further comment does little for me; unless the images are outstanding. And these are not.The DC Traveller: I'm on cable modem and the loading of this site caused my br | | By: Travel Notes Blog | | |
| | Best Single-Author Travel Blog | | 2007-02-18 15:35:00 | | Best Single-Author Travel BlogThis award celebrates the best travel blog writing by a single blogger. Again, the topic is open, as long as there is only one regular poster.With some 70 nominations, and a few coming in after the nominations had closed, this is a popular section and will take some serious reviewing to make the deadline I've set.Posted in order of nomination.View From The Wing: Plenty of useful information for jet travellers looking for a little 'flyer talk', along with some use of images but not really a contender.The Cranky Flier: Brett, the airline dork, has worked in aviation and the travel business. The second nomination in line edges up the runway ahead of the first.Killing Batteries: 'Leif Pettersen’s battery-powered rise to the zenith of travel writing rapture' is a nice enough read but as far as awards go, it's just a little flat. There's plenty of substance to the posts, so worth going along with your jump-leads to help spark the blogger-reader interaction that the writing deserves.Tim Leffel’s Cheapest Destinations: 'Bargain destinations, travel values, and cheap places to vacation'. Rich enough to deserve its nomination.Andy HoboTraveller: The Hobo has been around for ages, both travelling and blogging, so will not seem like a tramp off the street to most of you; even Forbes and The Guardian have mentioned him before.AviationDaily on Airports: Probably in the wrong terminal here and might take-off better in the 'Best Informative/Practical' category; depending on the competition.AviationViews: Spicing up airline news is not the easiest of things to do. Grounded due to fog.The World, My Playground: Adventuregirl puts on a good display in the playground. Sharp photographs blend in well with the soothing colour scheme, making it a pleasure to read the writing.Learning Cantonese: My thoughts are that the guest blogger's entries invalidate Daisann McLane for this nomination.Vagablogging: Again, invalid due to the number of posters | | By: Travel Notes Blog | | |
| | Best Group-Written Travel Blog | | 2007-02-18 15:30:00 | | Best Group-Written Travel BlogThis award celebrates travel blogs consistently written by two or more authors, regardless of subtopic.Posted in order of nomination.Hotel Chatter: Independent hotel reviews with plenty of photographs. We're off to a good start, be sure to check-in here.Gadling: As part of Weblogs Inc, there's plenty of content to interest just about anyone. I don't really like their huge menus at the bottom of the page, to all the other channels though. But I guess it's better than having it all at the top. And then there's the totally unrelated (to travel) index at the side too, than can get confusing.Jaunted: As it's from the same stable as Hotel Chatter and only one can get the vote, Jaunted gets the elbow.Inside Traveller: National Geographic travel blog by Jessie Johnston and Emily Kin. Surprisingly for the National Geographic, it lacks photos. Plenty of links though.Southwest Airlines Blog: If you're nuts about Southwest you might like to know about their employees, customers, airplanes and airports. A real team blog, as the credits show.World Hum:Dedicated to exploring travel in all its facets: how it changes us, how it changes the way we see the world, and finally, how travel itself is changing the world. Concentrating on the journey rather than the destination. RSS feed not working.The Lost Girls: Put together by Amanda, Holly and Jen; three twenty-something New Yorkers who ditched their media jobs to embark on a year-long, round-the-world journey in search of adventure and inspiration. Let's hope they find it.Vagablogging: Well, at least it's in the right category this time.The Gate: The frequent flyer community's attempt to fly off with the singles and doubles titles. But it's stalled at the gate.TripHub: A real hub of information for planning your next trip. You could spend so much time sifting through it all that you decide to stay at home and read instead.The Citizen: 'A youth culture travel guidebook written for the anti-tour | | By: Travel Notes Blog | | |
| | Best Informative/Practical Travel Blog | | 2007-02-18 15:25:00 | | Best Informative/Practical Travel BlogThis award goes to a travel blog that provides news, commentary, advice, or general insight into the workings of travel. Unlike a destination blog, this blog is more practically minded.Over 50 comments were posted in this category, so let's see how informative and practical the nominations are.Posted in order of nomination.IAG - Aviation and Travel News: Well, we've got to start somewhere and lifting off with this one means that (hopefully) things can only get better. There's quite a few video clips to watch on here but whether they're 'informative and practical' is another matter. For an award-winning nomination to make it to the shortlist, I feel that a little more thought on presentation is needed here. The square grouping of 25 'feed icons' and an advertising slot, after every post, are a little excessive; especially if you're reading the front page's full run of posts. Taking them off and putting them in a footer, that loads with every page, would be more effective.ellipses: Christopher Elliott's 'anti-blog' (as he called it) fits into the 'informative and practical' category.
