Harold- Thanks for the kind words and I’m glad that you enjoy these weekly posts. Everyone does their own thing when it comes to what they post and hopefully all (many) can stand out for different reasons! However, it is funny that you used the word rehash since I also do a weekly recap of what I’ve posted each week called… The Rehash! 🙂
Just wanted to say that your blog is one of the best on this site as I really like your round up of interesting travel stories from around the web each week.
No one else does that and it is good to read these stories on all sorts of topics from around the web, and not the usual re-hash of the same old same old that is re-packaged and re-hashed by some of your compatriots in this forum just to get their post count up.
Many thanks!
