Is there an easy way to find trip reports?
 
For example, I'd like to find trip reports which cover specific destinations. When I enter trip reports, the top 50 results aren't actually trip reports. Since trip reports are tagged as such, there must be an easy way and I just can't find it.

Trip reports have only been tagged as such since the website makeover about 6mo ago. I would simply use the search function to check by destination. In my experience the most important info for me is in the Q&A posts, not just in the trip reports.

You can also use google to search on fodors using the syntax

"destinationX site:fodors.com"

actually this is a better syntax

"destinationX site:fodors.com messages"

as it will search only the message board, not all of fodors.com

Thanks for the help. Maybe after awhile Fodors will have a separate section for trip reports.

If you type Trip Report in the search box, you will get more than you bargained for. But you can then limit the search by forum and country.

Not my experience.

Perhaps you need to type "trip report" singular, with no "s" on the end.
