So I was planning to blog about our trip last week to the Ribera del Duero, but that’ll have to wait a few days because I learned today that my blog was nominated for two categories in the 2009 Lonely Planet Travel Blog Awards: Best Destination Blog and Best Expat Blog. I’m pretty psyched/chuffed.
Between now and 20 March 2008, please show some love and click here to vote for me, rwapplewannabe.wordpress.com. While of course it’s an honor to be nominated, I can’t deny that I’m a competitive bastard and that I’d love to W-I-N. 🙂
Congrats Alice! Just voted for you in both categories. So exciting!
Congratulations Alice – having used some of your tips when travelling I can vouch that they are good. Will vote for you!
