Carnival of Blogs #18
By NomadicMatt | Published: May 15, 2009I know I haven’t been writing much but that’s doesn’t mean other people haven’t. I was at the beach so had some difficulty writing good stuff. I planned on writing about the island I was on but it rained every day. Well, except the last day I was when I was already boarding the boat home. Not that I’m bitter or anything. Not that I’m pasty white and needed a tan. But I said I wasn’t bitter…didn’t I? So while I wasn’t writing, these very fine people were:

Matt,
Thanks for the sites! As I am trying to decide my new travel plans and get my blog up and running, many of these are going to provide a lot of value! Thanks

Matt, Thanks for the site mention and yet another list of great websites to check out!
i think its always like that, when ever you plan a very good sunny vacation , it rains, and then stops just when you are on your last day. but also, its a good opportunity for you to explore stuff that you would have normally not done if it wasnt raining.lol
and thank you for the link, on how to outwit cheating cab drivers. when i was in vietnam, my first experience was a mini tour of the city’s boulevard, because the taxi -who had a meter , took the longest way to get to my hotel.
Matt thanks for including WildJunket in your Carnival! Great stuff!
See you here in Singapore!
