There are so many good ones (I was an avid reader of many while I planned my RTW trip, and I still follow loads even now I'm away), it's hard to pick a favourite. But I'm going to anyway:

http://forksandjets.com/

Because the photography is absolutely beautiful, and their writing about food makes me hungry every time I read it.

Currently on a twelve month RTW trip. Read about my experiences at http://itinerantlondoner.wordpress.com

Hey K2 - thanks for the mention.

I'm a fan of Two Backpackers at http://www.twobackpackers.com/

They're a NYC couple about to leave on their RTW trip in a few days! I like their writing style and it is always cool to start following a blog at the start of the author's travels.

I'm biased, I like mine (linked at bottom).

My favorite for a still-traveling family is http://blogs.bootsnall.com/kiwifamily/ written by a member here, frequent updates and great pictures!

We're currently on our RTW and were so inspired by so many blogs:

www.thewanderyear.com
www.thewidewideworld.com
www.livingspree.wordpress.com
www.jenzybarnzy.com

and might as well plug our own a little bit

www.kellyandellie.wordpress.com (although China has put a minor wrench in our blogging routine, but we're headed to Vietnam where we'll be up and going again.) We try to include detailed budget info to help out other travelers and thats one thing I really liked about the living spree too.

http://www.thirteenmonths.com was the first round-the-world site we found and it really inspired us and excited us about traveling long-term. There are so many great ones out there but, for me, they set the standard by which I measure every other travel site (including our own).
