Trip Reports...
Trip reports are a standard item on Trip Advisor, as they provide a great way for travelers to provide details on their trip and feedback on the advice provided in the forums. The trip reports are a great resource for future travelers. I wrote my first trip report following our 20th wedding anniversary trip to Page, Arizona, in October 2008, and I have written similar reports for most of our trips since then. Shoot, I have also written a few TRs for some of the shorter excursions, like my “free day by the bay” in San Francisco in April 2009.
To write a good trip report following the trip, I find that I have to keep decent notes during the trip. I kept a detailed log for the first time when we made our road trip to the Great Smokey Mountains back in 1989, but these logs did not become a standard until we started the big western trips. In addition to providing the basis for the trip reports, the information in the logs is used to provide the text for the photobooks as well as the data for the detailed reviews on Trip Advisor.
I started by posting the TRs directly to TA then having a second version on WeWentThere for my personal use (so I could tweak the content and add photos directly into the report). Later, I started posting the TRs to OhioHick Presents for general distribution and simply posted the link to the OHP TRs on TA. That way I could share the more elaborate format for the TRs.

The following is a list of the trip reports that I have written. The links are provided to versions on WeWentThere (WWT), OhioHick Presents (OHP) and TripAdvisor (TA). The TA links will include access to the follow-up posts with comments and questions and other sidebars stemming from the trip reports, so it is fun to review those discussions as well. Note there are sometimes two TA links, as the TR was posted to multiple forums when a trip covered multiple destinations.
