New Orleans, USA Today, and this blog

In recent months I haven’t had much of an opportunity to read American newspapers, but yesterday morning I got a copy of USA Today in Natchez, Mississippi and was happy to see Vagablogging mentioned in a roundup of travel blogs in Laura Bly’s Virtual Voyager column. Personal faves World Hum and Bootsnall were mentioned as well. The blurb on my blog mentions that it is “updated almost daily, when he’s not off in the jungle someplace” — a funny coincidence, since it’s been over a week since I’ve had to chance to update the blog. I haven’t been in any jungles this time around; rather, I have returned to the United States after nearly four months in Latin America, and I’m now working on a magazine piece about the Mississippi River. I arrived in New Orleans yesterday, and I hope to be here through the weekend. I’ll be back with updates from the road and more travel quotes and advice in a week or so…

    Welcome back to the mother ship. Looking forward to your musings and info on the US of A.

    Hi Rolf,
    Your link didn’t work to the Voyager article. Here it is:

    It looks great!

    Cheers, everyone — it’s fun to be stateside. And thanks for the heads-up on the URL, Jen — I’ve changed it above.
