110P..I read your blog but don't want to keep posting my applause :) I will from now on ~ I really like your blogging.

it would be nice if I got your name right , though, wouldn't it ? lol

yk: "you can always pick a fight"

Well, when I make it to Rome (I hope next year), I'll make a reservation for the Borghese Gallery and come back and say, "I didn't feel like I would have died had I not gone to the Gallery."

I'll include a link to my blog in a thread specifically addressed to NYCFoodSnob/NYCTravelSnob. Maybe that will catch attention. :-)

Thanks Scarlett.

111op, I do think you would get more responses if you pasted the text into a thread here. Even if people click through to read the blog, they might not come back to respond to your Fodors thread.

And it has been my experience that posting in segments for at least two or three days draws in more comments than posting an entire report at one time.

That's probably the case, although I think that it'll take too much time to copy and paste. My blogging style is not chronological and nonlinear, so if I try to paste the posts here, I'm not even sure how I would organize it. On the blog I can create an index and link all the posts related to the trip there and fill in the missing bits as I go along. On Fodor's I can't really do that.

One of friends joked that I can start writing a book given my verbosity.

I think that you're right that some people read the blog without leaving comments (on the blog or in Fodor's). It'd be nice to get some comments though.

I loved St Cirq's Dog days in Dordogne - we were all hanging our for the next installment.

It was warm, informative and witty - better than A Year in Provence.

It was all written in the same thread.

I am definitely in favor of keeping it all on one thread, it's just so much easier to follow the story. Multiple threads will never stay together. As mentioned, you can key on two countries by holding the control key.
