The finalists for the Best Travel Blog have been announced, and I’m really happy that Trippin’ is one of them! Still, I am up against some real heavyweights:

• Adventures of the Coconuter
• biyahengpinoy
• BYAHILO: Ito ang Blog ko!
• Explore Iloilo
• Ironwulf.net: En Route
• Ivan About Town
• Just Wandering
• lagal[og]
• Lakwatsero
• Paraiso Philippines Tourism and Travel Guide
• Philippine Travel Blog
• Visit Sagada
• Walk This Way!

Egads! Carlos Celdran’s blog is in there too… How can I compete? Here’s what qualifies a blog for nomination under Best Travel Blog: “A blog that focuses on the different aspects traveling for an extend period of time from point A to B. It may be a narrative or even an advice post focused on a trip or destination.”

On the off-chance that I might win, I’ve asked Ade Magnaye of Noisy, Noisy Man and The Man Blog to accept on my behalf.

I’ll be back for more travel posts in a week.
