Dear Infinityplusone
 

Send me a note on IGOUGO when you post your first journal and I'll be glad to read it. For a while I got the gift cards for my points, but then I got really serious about getting my AA miles up to one million. So now it's all for the AA miles.

samepenny & etc.

I write at Igougo as Fly_girl.

Oldpenny, I thought that was you over there! I even hinted about it in the message boards under the topic about meeting other guides. I guess you and a certain Aussie writer never saw my post. :D I read your Australia entries when you got back from your trip and I was planning mine. Very helpful, thanks!

I have a journal in the queue right now about my most recent Vegas trip. It's part two about the suites/penthouses on the strip.

Glad this topic came up.

New igougo member here
 

I had been reading some igougo journals recently for advice on an upcoming Alaska trip. I've found it extremely helpful so far. Today I signed up to write my own journal entries and then realized they had a points system redeemable for gift certificates. Then tonight I see this thread on FT. I don't fly AA at all so the AAdvantage miles will be of no use to me but the Target, Amazon, REI, and Barnes & Noble certificates definitely are. I'll soon be adding my first journals. Member name is the same as on FT - ssullivan.

IGoUGo Passport
 

Just another suggestion to make it easier to find FlyerTalk members on IGoUGo and build up your network of people you read journals for. Adding FlyerTalk as an "Other Interest" in your passport allows other members to simply search for "FlyerTalk" under All Sections from the main IGoUGo page and allows anyone who uses FlyerTalk to be located.

Welcome!
 

I post on IGOUGO as 'samepenny'. Have been around that site for dog's years. (that's Texan for a long time). It is an amazing resource for trip planning. FT helps me get miles and IGOUGO helps me use them! What a deal!

Send me a note via the IGOUGO.com system and I'll read your journals.

Just finished my first three igougo.com journals
 

Over the weekend I posted my first journal on touring Houston on our new METRORail train. Last night I added two more, reviewing places I visited on business trips to Ridgefield, CT and Bartlesville, OK earlier this year. All are posted under the same name as FlyerTalk, ssullivan.

Wikitravel
 

If you want something a little more organized and easier to use a travel resource, instead of just a bunch of random people's stories, I'd suggest taking a look at Wikitravel. Run on the same software and along the same lines as the venerable Wikipedia, it's a collaborative guide that can be edited by anybody who comes along.

A few pointers to pages that I've contributed to:
Singapore
Bangkok

And yeah, it's still in the "heavily under construction" phase, but growing fast. Drop in and add a few words about your hometown or favorite destinations!

I also post at Igougo, under the same handle- Asia Traveler. I'll be checking out some of your journals!
