• In an effort to be honest, I'm going to say right up front that the following is a shameless plug and desire for y'all to show me some virtual love.

  LonelyPlanet.com is currently running a contest, looking for folks to develop content for them. As I really, really want to do something travel-related with my life, I have entered. (This is an important step, since they ran this contest last year and I didn't get off my duff and enter.) They have what are called "BlueLists," where people recommend travel experiences to other folks.

  Here's the link to my list.

  I'd really appreciate it if y'all would have a read through and, if you like it, go ahead and rate it. You would have to register to leave a comment on the list, but you don't have to register to give it a rating. (If you don't like it, pretend you didn't read it, and we'll never speak of it.) I don't think the rating will have anything to do with who wins or not, since I think the contest is actually merit-based, but I figure if it gets a decent number of good ratings, it'll look good for my entry.

  Thank you all in advance, and a happy New Year's to all!

  Edited to add: Yes, there are a couple of errors in what's written. Which is what I get for being in too much of a hurry to post after I had to edit what I wrote originally because it was a little too long. Alas, there isn't a way to edit my list now that it's posted. Hopefully it won't reflect too poorly on me. (I'm guessing by some of last year's winning entries that my couple of goofs won't hurt me that much.)
