Kav <BR> <BR>I think it's a great idea. I'd really like for Fodors to distribute a little pin for us to wear. How do we get this idea to the right person at Fodors?

Tina

YES --- the Fodor's editors need to put this on their "to do" list. I think if you back out to the fodor's home page, there's a 'contact us' option. So I'm going drop them a note to direct their attention to this thread.

kav

Thanks Tina <BR> <BR>I often think when wondering around on holiday if that person with the gentle smile might be a Fodor's friend, and this might be a nice way to know. <BR> <BR>Of course, it does mean transferring said bacdge or ribbon from outfit to outfit since in warm weather we dont always wear a coat, but its a nice idea none the less... <BR> <BR>Kav

Sheila

Given the last few weeks, they're more likely to be snarling or ticking off the waitress <BR> <BR>What about us residents? Are we meant to wear them all the time?

Karen

I'll be looking for blue ribbons in Italy in June.

sandy

Count us in! We're already making plans to meet Heidi/Hubby in Paris on Mar 21 and Sue/Gene the 23rd . . . we're just missing Sally and the Macedonians . . . any other Fodorites want to meet us? You can email me . . . the more, the merrier! <BR> <BR>Sandy

Tammy

I'll be sporting my ribbon while in Spain in October, probably on my backpack. Do you think this should be something we should wear on our camera strap or backpack whether we're here in the states or overseas?

Alice The Magyar

I will be looking for all you Fodorites in Hungary and Vienna. I will be there from May 30-June 26. I will be wearing my blue Fordor ribbon on the left side of my blouse, shirt or dress, whatever I am wearing. I can't wait to meet others from this site, it should be fun.

Good point, Sheila. But maybe you don't need one - you just stay on the lookout for those of us traipsing about trailing 'the blue!'

Hello, Fodors <BR> <BR>Any feedback for us about this project? The spring/summer/fall travel season is almost here, so let us know if you're planning to help us identify our Fodor Friends while we're scattered about the globe. Seems like a good marketing idea as well. <BR> <BR>Thanks for your consideration.

Jeanette

We're off to Italy in March and I'll put a blue ribbon on my handbag. If I see a blue ribbon, I'm going to come and talk to you for sure, so please be nice! This is going to be the best trip yet, and I'm so excited.

ldsant

I'm in. I'll be in Paris/Brussels from march 15 - 22. I'll have a blue ribbon on my daypack!

liz

OK I'm on board, I'll be in Italy(Cinque Terre, Florence, for first 3 weeks of August. Sounds like a fun experiment, we should all report back after our trips with the number of people we actually met! See you all, I'll be the one in the gelato parlour gazing longingly at Mario!

judyAR

S.Fowler, I'll be arriving in Amsterdam March 21 but leaving immediately by train to south NL. I'll be in Brugges and Ghent for the next several days, eventually returning to Amsterday for a couple of days. I'll wear my blue ribbon "somewhere"...

XX

Excuse me, did someone suggest we PAY for these ribbons ??? <BR> <BR>I think we've come up with an excellent marketing idea for the Fodor's. And I don't mind promoting the forum, but if there's any compensation to be exchanged, then THEY should be paying us!

Pat

Payment? No! <BR> <BR>If there's money to be made when I wear Fodor's Blue in Paris this April, let them give it to the hunger site, or geography education or something.

betsy

Uh-oh <BR> <BR>No profit intended. Meant to indicate that I would be happy to buy one of the little thingies, preferably at cost. But it would be a neat gesture of good will to distribute them gratis, not to mention the publicity Fodors would get when we're running all over the world sporting the little thingies on our lapels or whatever.

angel

Can I get a special sticker/pin on mine to show I'm in the Pompous Ass Club? I'd hate to have to spring that on someone AFTER we'd introduced ourselves. <BR>

Elizabeth

Angel, don't worry! I'm sure, by now, we newbees will know a Pompous Ass when we meet one! No fuchcia jackets, either, altho that was a "fun run"! The pin idea is a good one, too. Do I get a commission? JUST JOKING!!!! <BR> <BR>Looking forward to meeting my on-line friends!
