		<description>Thanks for the links!
I agree that personal posts are always a bit more fun to read, can mix it up a bit, and encourage comments.  
We&#039;ve also seen fewer comments lately-- perhaps it&#039;s the holidays and with more travel bloggers traveling they have less time themselves to comment?</description>

		<description>Matt,

Thanks for the &quot;shout-out.&quot;  (Do you young&#039;ens still use that term?)

Interesting comments about the comments: I don&#039;t get a fraction of the readers you do and a sub-fraction of the comments.

I sometimes wonder what&#039;s up with comments, or lack thereof.

I would love to hear people&#039;s comments about your comments about comments.

What - no comment?</description>

		<description>Definitely will be putting in some votes for you.

What would I like to see?  More personal stories of your travels, or your readers travels.  I like the &#039;you should go here, or there&#039; posts and the &#039;top 10, or top 5 this or that&#039; posts and I really enjoy discovering new blogs in your &#039;blog carnival&#039; posts but I would be here more, and comment more on personal stories. It is they that inspire me to travel and make me see that I can do it!</description>
