Should I bring back the Travelogue?

Last year was my first year covering a full postseason without a home team, so to chronicle the adventure I converted my blog into a Travelogue. You can click the link to go back and read the posts to get an idea, but basically I wrote about how I got myself to these cities all over the country, and what I did when I arrived. It was pretty much about everything except what was happening on the field, because I was writing about that for FanHouse.
It actually turned out to be fairly boring (well, except for the dead guy) until the World Series, because I spent almost all of the first two rounds inĀ Southern California, where I didn’t do much except eat, go running at the beach and play poker. The New York-Philly World Series provided lots of good fodder, from seeing the Liberty Bell to taking the train to going to New York’s museum of natural history. Lots of pictures, too.
Well, I’m going to be doing all of that again this year, with a few new cities on the possible itinerary. I am covering the National League side. I’ll obviously cover the Giants series if they make it, and if they don’t I’ll cover whichever series the Padres aren’t in (because FanHouse colleague Tom Krasovic lives in San Diego). In short, I have no idea where I’ll be two weeks from now, which is why I have eight hotel reservations for the first round.
Anyway, I’m trying to decide if I should do another Travelogue, so I’m going to leave it up to my readers. If the Giants make the playoffs, I will write baseball-related posts on them throughout, regardless of whether I also do the Travelogue.
(By the way, I had an iPhone 3G last year, and now I have a 3GS, so there will be better pictures and possibly even video this time around.)
