This is not just a great moment in blogging....this is a great moment in life. Two parts.

Marisa, you rock!

And as she says...."it's why we travel...."

Thanks for the props, NTFT! I just added a third part (day 2) of the experience as well.

NTFT, thanks for nudging me to finally type it out. When I re-read it in my journal, I relived the experience in my mind.

His whole blog is really good. Hasn't been updated for a while though.

Ok so this is my blog but I would recomend it not for what I wrote but for what some of the visitors have writen about us going to a cock fight. I think it was very interesting.

The fist part of the story was here but the next post has some good comments I think.

Here's a shameless plug for my own blog. The earlier entries are pretty poor in my opinion, but when you write daily for 11 months, you begin to get the hang of things, and when I look back, I can see the improvements I made over time.

And another shameless plug! I've just finished designing a blog to document a six month trip from from London to Shanghai, by land (mostly). It's Old World Wandering. Other than two posts on Oxford, and some photos, there's not much there.

But I (I should say we, I'm travelling with my girlfriend Claire) only start travelling in June, and that's when the regular posts should start.

*bump*

Anybody come across any particularly good blogs lately?

Thanks.

Eric Trinidad of "The Global Trip" fame has just started a new blog about his trip to Mali. It´s new so there´s not much to evaluate at the moment, but I assume it will be as good as his last one.

Oh, cool. Erik told me he was going to Mali and Timbuktu next, but I didn't know when. I didn't read his Global Trip blog until after it was done (actually, it wasn't even til after I met him...) but I like his style. It's funny stuff. I'm liking this one so far.

I'm waiting for him to update that blog! keep checking it, but no news so far.

Erik's new one on Blogger? He's updating it - follow the link MeganL put up. He's got a few entries already. Finally something to enjoy with my morning coffee, if only for a couple weeks

Aha! He's moved to blogger! And like an idiot, I only had that particular entry on the Bootsblog bookmarked.

Small wonder I kept waiting for updates...

Wow. Erik's Mali blog is sweet. His writing has really evolved and improved a lot. I guess when you travel a ton, and write a ton, that's what happens. Kudos to Erik.

I was trying to figure out why I enjoy reading this homestyle journal of a New York couple's meandering journey through the Central and Southern Americas.

Then I looked up:

raconteur \rack-on-TUR\, noun:
One who excels in telling stories and anecdotes.

Yup, that's it.
