A Couple of Great Big Double-D Woo-Hoos! (& Beauty Skool Update #8)

My cups runnneth over (again) 'cuz my humble (well, sorta) Travel-Blog

has been chosen by Tripbase travel website as one of

2009's Best Travel Photography Blogs!

"The award for best photography blog is given to those fortunate few bloggers that were able to combine a wide range of incredible photos along with evident enthusiasm for their work, which is keeping fellow travel enthusiasts well-versed with what was happening along the away, also allowing readers to live vicariously through the blogger and being able to indulge in their passion of travelling."

I am truly honored to be included on this list of award recipients...'specially since most of them are professional travel-photographers...and, tho' I am a professional globe-trotter, I simply canNOT get the hang of snapping a decent (or, indecent) picture! Plus, if I took the pictures, then I wouldn't be IN them, now would I?!?! (duh.)

ALL of the photos you see on my blog have been taken by one of my awesome Chaperons, or my trusty Blog-Mistress (who also is responsible for making up stuff penning the adventures that go along with my photos.)

So I'd like to say THANK YOU from the bottom of my cups to Tripbase for the honor of this award, and give a couple of great big Double-D WOO-HOO's to ALL of my Chaperons for your fantastic support ~ if it weren't for ya'll, I'd never have gotten very far!...or had any decent (or indecent) pictures to show for it!

As for my Blog-Mistress......she can go get her own dang award!

Actually, she did.
