Love this BB, BUT what has happened to the reponse time? Same computer but all of a sudden it takes 1 to 2 min to get into responses. Just waited four min. and never did get it. Harriet

Harriet everyone who has talked with Fodor's about the response time & archives HAS BEEN TOLD that the system will soon be corrected any day now , I was told this 2 months ago . I suspect this will happen shortly after everyone switches over to LONELY PLANET or the millenium , which ever comes first .

Hey Charlie, what's the address of lonely planet? I get tired of waitin for messages to come up on this board. Sometimes you will go to the trouble to write a nice response to a question only to find that it isn't going to be posted. I don't have THAT much time to waste!

Cheri, I once knew a Cheri Farmer in Philadelphia , nah it could'nt be . Anyway here it is www.lonelyplanet.com , click on the thorn tree. In some ways it's better than Fodor's but Fodor's also has it's good points . Tell me what you think.

Checked out Lonely Planet and I wasn't really pleased with their Carib section. Where2stay has alot of good stuff. Sorry to say I'm not from Phily! Sounds like you had good memories of the Cheri there! LOL

The best site i've been on for forums is www.traveltalk.com. It's very well organized. Fodors has alot of work to do because this site is terrible; slow response time, not organized very well, many times I can't get through.....

TravelTalk has almost become a cob-web site. It used to be very active, but not too much in recent months. Sections of it aren't working and have needed to be fixed for about 6 months now. If you are interested in the BVI they have a lot of info, but most of the sites are pretty idle....oh yes, you can always go to the Jamaica site and read the idiots talking dirty!
