This is one of the ft areas that I enjoy coming to. I love travel and seeing new places or reading about them. Its great that people take the time and trouble to make the effort needed to make them special.
Some trips, for health reasons, I will never be able to take. But there are also wonderful trip reports to cities that I have been to. I still enjoy reading about them as well. Their views, the weather when they were there and how its changed since I have been. Everywhere is slowly changing as peoples needs and life cycles happen.
I am not too happy that some link their trip reports onto a blog or somewhere else. FT is a safe site, nearly 99.5% of the time and I dont like opening some sites. You dont know if they have a virus or something. I am sure everything is safe, but I usually come on here when I am tired or wanting to escape from my world for a bit. I dont want any more problems.
I dont mind links to hotels or sites etc. Google does work well, bu sometimes it gets lost in translation.
As for videos. There are vids from the plane. For some reason I enjoy them. It reminds me of better times. But I wouldnt at the moment watch a whole report on video. Compalints about noise in a hotel should be on video though.
I do like to read about cities. People often do different sights that I might have forgotten about. Or they go to certain food places that I thought were no turns out in fact they are a wonderful. Hotels and how people find their stays there is often very helpful.
It also helps to research cities especially when you travel with other people and have to take into account their needs. Cities is where we end up when we travel there. So I feel actually really strongly that city info should be included by people, if they can.
But, thank to everyone who has written a trip report on here. I do personally really enjoy reading them.
