well, let's see, everything is booked for Prague/Vienna this April, research is mostly done for Spain this October, just bought a guide book for Greece-May of 2002, and I think Morocco would be wonderful for the fall of 2002. I have a lot of research to do, so I can easily justify my many hours here at Fodors. Nothing crazy about that.

Count me among the "crazies". I love this site. I have another problem...I have a hard time not printing a lot of the threads for future reviewing. Several times I have not printed off an interesting topic and then when I went back to search for it it was gone.....Any ideas for reducing my print ing problem? jwg

I have microsoft word on my computer and I keep a page open underneath when I am on this site. Then anything I want to remember wether it's one sentence or a whole message I just hilight, go to edit and click copy then click the word button at the bottom of the screen and when my page opens click paste. Then just click on the browser button at the bottom to go back to where you were on the site. Works really good and saves you from having to print volumes. When I'm finished I save the page for future reference. This works really well for me.

Thank you!! That is so great. I also have been printing tons of stuff. I'm so glad I looked at this thread. Is is true, though, that we can no longer search on specific countries? If so, that's really too bad.

Vicki <BR> <BR>I'm researching a trip to Italy and my "cut and paste file" from this site currently numbers about 100 pages (definitely a Fodors addict). I usually bold a couple of key words from the clip for easier identification later. At some point, I will go back and organize the clips into separate files--hotels/restaurants/sights, etc. for easy referencing. Then, when we are just about ready to leave, I'll delete the clips I no longer need and print out the rest to take along. This works great for me.
