It would be a plus if Fodors had a separate section for trip reports. Then we could just go there to find them. These are some of my favorites.

I have lost the link to a long trip report that was fantastic about a group of women in Europe that started as friends and ended as a trip from hell. Anyone remember it? It might have had "divas" in the title.

Oh my gosh, I hadn't looked at this for several days and there have been so many additions since I last looked! Thanks and keep them coming!
I've printed off 300 pages of trip reports - 9 point type and put into two columns to save space - this is some great reading! Thanks to everyone!

Uh, that link you posted comes up with a thread titled <<What to do at Frankfurt Airport>>
I enjoyed laartista's reports on her trip to Spain, and Budapest. I haven't read the Morroco one, and would like to. Please post the correct link!
My favourites have been by Thingorjus aka Marginal Margiela, Maitaitom not drinking all the vino in Italy, Barb and the Divas, tcreath writes very well as do SusanP and images2, and I used to laugh aloud at Billy'n'Betty Jones's threads, though they weren't really trip reports as such they were so worth reading just for fun!

I love all kinds of trip reports, and it's very hard to single any out, but I "hang out" mostly on the Africa board and Nyamera's Double Mara is amazing.
Any of Nyamera's Kenya reports are great, but for those of us who have been following her attempts to get back to her favorite place on earth, this was truly something special. She's also hilarious.
