I failed as a blogger in the month of September, only posting 25 times. I’m still trying to figure out how to work, blog, and travel at the same time. This laziness continues today as I am writing this post instead of beginning the Quest Around The Globe Trip Report or resuming the Tahiti Triumph Trip Report .
Here are the top posts for the month of September:
