This has been a heck of a week, folks. Like, maybe one of the Top 10 All-Time Hardest Weeks for this blogger. I, for one, almost wept with gratitude when I looked at the calendar today.

 

Friday means Saturday is just around the bend. Friday means the babysitter comes. Friday means there's a chance I might go to Happy Hour with my husband.

 

It also means it’s time for TravelMusing’s Friday Favorites! This week, I needed to get my funny on, folks.

 

Moms and dads know all about diaper changes on the go. Kayt Sukel shares her list of strangest places she’s changed her son’s pants, and she’s got some good ones. Go share your own stories and share her pain, will you? – TravelSavvyMom

 

This next one made me laugh like a 14-year-old boy. I dare you not to giggle while watching this hilarious clip from CNN. – Tripso

 

There’s nothing funny at all about the current economic climate, but one mother makes the case for dreaming of travel to far-off places. – The Mother of All Trips

 

Speaking of dreams, how about a trip to Switzerland? I loved the photos in this great post about how to enjoy the mountains if you’re a non-skier. I’ll read this one again when I’m recovering from knee surgery next week. – Here To Geneva

 

Not going anywhere anytime soon? Like me? Live vicariously through other people’s vacation photos. Our own talented Calista Chandler offers some super tips on finding great images on Flickr, as if the Internetz didn’t suck up enough of your time already. – TravelMuse Photo Blog

 

I’m outie, people. Time for you to ante up—please, for the love of Pete, send us something, will you? Send your own Friday Favorites to editor AT travelmuse DOT com.

I love the images we showcase on our site, and we’ve been fortunate to feature photographers who share their photos on Flickr, under the Creative Commons License. So we’re really excited to announce a new monthly TravelMuse Photo Contest, sponsored by Eye-Fi.

 

For each of the next six months, we’ll run a different theme, and all you have to do is upload your photos to our TravelMuse Contest group in Flickr. We’ll award one Eye-Fi Explore card each month (value $130 each) to the winner and feature your photos on TravelMuse, where appropriate.

 

 

Get started now! Check out the full details. The first theme is “Essence of Place.”

 

I recently won an Eye-Fi Explore card (in the recent Passports With Purpose raffle, donated by WeJustGotBack)—which was a bit ironic as we were already in discussions for this contest. Anyway, it was a great opportunity to test the product out for myself! The Eye-Fi Explore allows you to wirelessly upload photos to your online photo album, and it automatically geo-tags your photos! I found the card very easy to install on my PC and in my digital SLR (Canon Rebel Xsi). I had to take one extra step to format the card, but that was quick and just involved hitting the format setting in the menu of my camera. I also poked around the Eye-Fi Manager, which you download to your PC or Mac. There is a great FAQ and a forum section. This is a very cool and fun product!

 

Good luck with the contest, and I hope you have as much fun with this new product as I’m having!!
