Not a Vlogger

 The title says it all. We enjoy watching vlog content, and have a few that we follow on a semi-regular basis, but that's not us.

We like the traditional blog methodology. 

It allows us to make notes as things happen, then assemble those notes into a post and add photos (almost always our original photos) then get the post online in short order. If we're cruising we can do this while sitting at a bar sipping umbrella drinks. If we're staying in a hotel we can type things in the evening while relaxing, or in the morning while others are getting ready for the day. No cumbersome video editing, no concerns with being intrusive or disturbing anyone else's vacation, no need for additional equipment, no concerns about licensing issues associated with random music playing in the background.

It's just simpler.

It also fits my slight neurodivergence. I'm a reader more than a listener, and I tend to get annoyed when vloggers are redundant at any level. I prefer to read, so I prefer to write for others with the same preference. 

This means Google downgrades my ratings because I don't have videos to keep people entertained and tells me I have "low quality" content - even though it's 100% original, doesn't promote partner links, and contains exactly zero links that earn commission on anything. We link to the services and products we use and find useful. That's all.

Our goal is, and has always been, to share our experiences and, hopefully, inspire others to seek out and enjoy their own experiences.

So, if you find something you enjoy, please share it with others and help spread the word. In the meantime, if you're looking for some vlog content, some friends have been working on getting their YouTube channel established along with their FaceBook presence.
