Ok, first I love this site and it's the first place to go when planning a trip to unfamiliar territory! Thanks for doing a great job!
2nd, This site can also be fun for entertainment value. Probably once a day I check out the new reviews and look at the bad reviews. Some of these can be very entertaining and it's amazing what some parks offer or don't offer and how they treat their paying customers. Sure some people just have a grudge or a bad experiance, but drunk park owners, junk everywhere, no maintenance, and/or charging incredible fees to stay in a "parking lot", makes for interesting reading. I'm not encouraging bad reviews in any way, but when you see multiple reviews all saying the same bad things, it's amazing some of these parks stay open at all!. I hope you all have good trips and keep up the good work. Chris G. 1989 33' Southwind motorhome -------------------- Chris G.

It's the same with hotel and cruiseline reviews. Before a cruise or a trip to Vegas, I'll start haunting the boards for info. Bring up reviews for a hotel or buffet in Vegas and you'll find:
1. "Best hotel in Vegas. Huge clean rooms. Wonderful pool. The people at the front desk were friendly and helpful." followed by: 2. "Worst hotel in Vegas. Rooms were too small even for the bedbugs. Filthy bathrooms. Pool was a cesspit. Horrible employees." followed by: 3. "Best hotel I've ever stayed in. Wonderful employees. Big rooms....." Well, you get the idea. Same thing goes for buffets: "Best food in Vegas"....."worst food in Vegas"...."we eat there every time"....."everyone in my party got ptomaine poisening".... Ditto for cruise reviewss. I have to wonder how EVERYTHING about a cruise could be horrible? I just read one cruise review that stated the person "almost starved to death" as the food was so awful that she couldn't eat a thing. Puh-leeze.....how bad could it be? My humble opinion is that if I don't have to shop for it, schlep it home, unpack it, cook it, put it on the table and clean up afterwards, then I'm gonna like it...maybe not love it.....but definitely like it. Anyway I look at it, a bad day on vacation beats the h-e-double hockey sticks out of a good day at the office.
