The travel blogger’s lament
You know what drives travel bloggers crazy?
We don’t have time to blog when we travel.
I mean, we do only if we don’t sleep.
Sure, just gather info all day, take notes, shoot video, shoot photos, then spend all night drafting blog posts, uploading/grooming/tagging video, uploading/grooming/tagging photos and launching all of that info out into the blogosphere.
Just add a lot of Red Bull to your life, right?
I’ve been here in China (on the China 2.0 Tour) since November 9, in both Beijing and Shanghai, and have oodles of material for the Family Travel blog and other blogs/publications, but either no time to craft posts or no WiFi to upload it to the world.
All of us on the Tour have been actively covering Tour events on Twitter, but it doesn’t quite have the richness of a full blog post.
So, I ask for your patience until I can get some combination of time and connectivity. Meantime, here I am at Tiananmen Square in Beijing, under the watchful eyes of Chairman Mao’s portrait, and having the time of my life.
You’ll just have to trust me on that until I have time to tell you more.

Hi soultravelers3 - thanks for the stumble, and I do indeed feel very fortunate.
I agree, it is tough to blog while traveling, but there’s so much to write about once you get home!!

Boy can I relate! Sounds like my life as a blogger ( including writing one for a nonprofit for the disadvantaged school kids that follow us virtually) as we travel the world!!
Great shot! I’ve been following you on Twitter and look forward to hearing more!!
In the meantime I will stumble this as few realize how hard it is to blog and travel at the same time.
Gave me a good chuckle. So glad you had a ball during your trip to China…lucky girl!
