I never thought about it til Gayle said......

By
Real Estate Agent with RETIRED 200305001

Recently I wrote a blog about "Gayle Rich-Boxman said do it, so I did". It was a blog about the Prospect Hotel Bed and Breakfast in the Crater Lake area.

After I blogged, Gayle suggested I do a Trip Advisor reveiw. I had never thought about doing that before. Yet I live and die by Trip Advisor when I make travel plans.

Now I am a Trip Advisor writer! How about you?

I have read trip advisor for the information they provide but have never contributed.  Sounds like it might be a good thing to do.

I guess I lead a sheltered life because I am not familiar with Trip Adviser.

My husband and I rely on Trip Advisor for reviews for hotels and restaurants. We always submit a review (whether postivie or negative) when we go somewhere new.

Hi Rob D. Shepherd ,  It not only gives us something to blog about, but it enlightens people to places to go and experience for themselves.

Rob-I've never thought about it.  In fact, just got on Trip Advisor this year.  I do, however, go to Yelp all of the time!!

Hi Rob D. Shepherd ,  I have never checked into being a trip advisor.  Maybe I will do just that.  Thanks!

On our recent rip to Alaska we used TripAdvisor every day. And yes we did a few reviews. I know it helped us.

Gee, Rob, how did I miss this??I am SO sorry, but yea for you for becoming a Trip Advisor reviewer! It's fun to see that what we write actually can sway people to go somewhere based on our thumbs up reviews.
