The eightblack family holiday and 8 bottles of Dom are some of my favorites, but my vote for best trip report goes to:

Around the world in 50 hours in F - Twice in one week.

Anything by Eightblack.. I always have to keep from sipping any drink as surely the next sentence I will spit it all over the keyboard because I am laughing hysterically

Absolutely brilliant.

Although in a more serious vein anything by @seat2a, @rosscali, @violist, or @loosecannon is definitely worth a read. And @kiwiflyer and Lucky.

+1 anything by Seat 2A. Preferably printed out and read in at least C while airborne.

re-read that yesterday and it resulted in my mom and my 2 sisters coming to ask me what was so funny.

I loved olafman's 5th grade around the world.

The bottles of Dom was hilarious but also enjoyed a lot of others by less than frequent posters too.

Matthandy writes terrific reports and eightblack clearly needs his own reality show.

Eightblack is a genius with his writing style.

8 Bottles of Dom was just the most legendary FT TR ever.

Agreed, Seat 2A's reports are my favourites for the variety of transport and mix of luxury and budget travel on the same trip.

I think there are many excellent trip reports here that it is not easy to pick one Best Ever report.

I personally always envy those who can write good stories with photos.

I very much enjoy reading the TRs of the following posters:

matthandy
SFO777
Seat2A
Eightblack
macabus
moomba
ironmanjt
kevincm

and a few others

If it is photo trip report only, I like the ones done by AJR85
SFflyer123 does some excelelnt video trip reports.
