I’ve been seriously on vacation since December 4, in India, to be exact, ahead of the 2006 Global Voices Summit in New Delhi. Great internet access hasn’t been presenting itself, and to be honest, I’ve been savouring the time offline. I’m in Jaipur at the moment, checking e-mail in the internet room at the lovely Diggi Palace Hotel (highly recommended! The only place I’ve ever stayed where the rooms look better live than in the photos on the web site), and I learn that CFR is a finalist in the 2006 Weblog Awards in the Best Latino, Caribbean, or South American blog category!

I was aware CFR had been nominated — and many, many thanks to whoever is responsible for having done this — but I had no idea that I’d reach this far, especially given the competition I’m up against. So, if you feel so inclined, please check in and vote. Polls close at 11:59 PM (US – Eastern) December 15, 2006 (which, in case you were wondering, is the day after my birthday. And just so you know, apparently you can vote once every 24 hours.) Thanks in advance!

In return I’ll try and find a wi-fi connection when I get back to Delhi and upload my India photos to Flickr, and maybe even blog a bit about my travels.
