The travel blog world is a buzz today as the nominees have been announced for various categories in the Best of The Web’s Travel Sites. Nominees for “The Travvies,” as they are called, have recently been announced here.

Since I am going to be away from the internet for the next 3-4 days, I’m going to leave you with this link to the nominees list to give you some reading for the next few days.

NoBoundaries.org didn’t make the top 15,000, so we’ll shoot for the nomination next year. But, if you’re planning on voting, may I suggest, if you’re unsure, my friend and fellow UI graduate, Mary Beth LaRue is one of the contributors to “National Geographic Inside Traveler” which in nominated for the Best Overall Travel Blog. So let’s put our support there, if you don’t mind.

I’ll post again when I return to the internet hopefully on Monday or Tuesday, and I promise then to continue the story (and share pictures) from Beijing. Then onto stories, photos, and commentary from Japan.
