Big thanks to anyone who voted for MileValue in the first annual Travel Summary Awards. We were the only double winners, taking home The Best New Blogger and The Best Travel Hacker categories.

With only four days until the one year anniversary of my first post, it’s quite an honor to be recognized for the work I’ve put into the blog.

When I started this blog, I had no idea the amount or type of work it would be. I couldn’t have anticipated the challenges, fun, or interesting people I’d meet. I didn’t even know if I’d last more than a few weeks.

(As anyone can attest who tried to access this blog a few days ago in the morning, I am not being modest. I only registered this domain for one year when I started, and I hadn’t re-registered, so it was replaced with some Go Daddy advertising briefly.)

For the next year, Bill and Tahsir and Rookie Alli and I are all looking forward to putting out more and better content as well as running the best Award Booking Service around.

Maybe next year we can even challenge Gary for Best All-Around Blogger (a much deserved win, by the way).
