How To Write A Trip Report-
 

Hi ya'll.I had an idea!<BR>After reading various opinions and I must say, some were not so nice,on trip reports, I thought it might be a good idea if we had some thoughts about what we all really want in a trip report.<BR>I know some people-like myself,want to tell every thing we saw,ate,felt and heard on our excursions and I -myself,think these are fascinatin readin-why someone already wrote a book about me and my adventures! I even heard there might be a movie! <BR>But-enough about me!<BR>I propose-we post here-the things we require that make an excellent trip report.<BR>This will help us all,especially the younguns who may be worried about posting their travel report and being fussed at by grumpy readers.<BR>So I will go first:<BR>1-Keep it nice now and nothing personal.<BR>You know what my mama says-"If you can't say somethin nice,keep yo mouth shut!"<BR>Thank you and I look forward to hearin from ya'll. Scarlett<BR>

Personally, I love reading of peoples personal experiences while on thier trips instead of rote descriptions of accomodations and meals etc. I dont mind those when I am seriously considering the property or location but do find them boring. Everyone has something happen to them that makes thier experience memorable.

Having read a few reports lately,and going through old ones just for fun,I think that some of the best are the ones that have a sense of humor.There is always something that can be found of interest in any trip report.And I agree, we should all keep it nice.

You're right, Scarlett and Moe. I like all reports. But the anecdotal ones are especially prized. And every now and then, they approach greatness. You get into the traveler's shoes, as it were, and relived his/her experience.
