Trip Reports Forum

And I do believe that's the first time I've ever been upset enough to use the emoticon. I'm going home.

Run while you can - you've earned a few drinks and a relaxing Friday evening...

A lot of information is here and it's free and very useful. I'm as accommodating and helpful as I can be, and since I understand that some people are new to the forum or new to message boards, I am as gentle as possible in pointing out the ways to do the research for themselves. It's those who get all uppity because I have the audacity to suggest they do a little digging on their own. Forgive me if I don't want to do ALL the work of planning vacations for other people, but I'm far too busy helping our clients to do so.

Yeah what she said!!!!!

We can't have subforums for everything, and I know that James disagrees that having a subforum for trip reports would be valuable. I didn't used to agree with him about that, but now I do. Trip reports contain a lot of general trip information and really do seem to belong in either the general forum or the All-inclusive forum.

Since we've had the new "Peep stuff" forum, I find that I rarely go in to check for upcoming peep meets.

I really wasn't suggesting that James was being a smart#%$. But I was half anticipating someone to suggest a "search" when I initially asked my question, which of course I KNOW CAN be done.

But I do disagree with him on the value of the trip reports board. I think it would be great to have them centralized in one place. Make them easy to find/to read. I've been on other boards that have forums dedicated to TR's and it's great! I have learned more from the TR's I think, than from any other source here. I've learned where I want to stay, what tours I would like to do, where to eat, where to party, etc. They are the single most valueable source of information here on this board. I'm sorry you won't consider it. But that's just my 2 cents worth.

Actually, I've just done a quick "look" through this forum and I see that a TR forum has been suggested several times, many others seem to think it would be a good idea also

You are so sweet! Don't let it get to you Heather...this conversation has been going on since the genesis of this and other forums. Some people just take themselves a little too seriously, it's hard for them to imagine that it's not all about them...
