Your favorite trip reports?

I'm in the mood to read some fantastic trip reports about some great trips! Anyone who can point me to some great trip report threads - not just Europe but anywhere in the world - I'd be grateful! Thanks much!

By the way, before someone suggests it - I am indeed searching on "trip report" and reading what I find. I just know there are so many out there that it would be easy to miss a really great one! Just looking for some suggestions. Thanks!

My all-time favorite is "Report trip to Copenhagen, Arhus, Berlin...." Maryfran has a great sense of humor and writes very well.

Oh, these look fabulous. I can't wait! I'm copying and pasting into Word for a good long read.

For those looking for the Copenhagen report mentioned above, I found it here:

What was the title of SharonG's hilarious saga of Italy and Paris? Remember Le Clip, the Trip Nazi, etc?

As recommended above, find anything by MaiTaiTom, Theresa's trip to Rome, plus the classics by the long-gone Elvira.

And for mouth-watering mind-boggling descriptions of food and wine, you must read Ira's escapades throughout Europe.

Off the top of my head, I would have to say anything by maitaitom. I also really enjoy SusanP's Italy trip reports. Oh! and Barb's Diva trip report, that's a good one!

suspire,

I'm glad you brought this up, as I've been trying to remember my favorite trip report so I could read it again. LC Bonitie came up with it,

"Rome I Loved it" by Theresa10

I loved her report becausee she wasn't trying to impress us with her writing skills (which are fine) just gave us a wonderful detailed report of her trip with her family. I'd love to meet her and give her a huge hug.

I think it was Elvira who did a classic on the Veneto. Worth seeking out.

Two of my favorite trip reports were by fodorite Laartista. One of a trip to the south of France and the other of a trip to Morrocco earlier this year.

Laartista's report on her Moroccan adventures is my favorite:
