Trip Report Syndrome

Post by RickG »

So, I get back from holiday and have no time to finish a trip report! Work, family, social life get in the way. Does this happen to you? I have more time before my trips to write TRs than afterwards. Maybe I should write my trip report before I leave?

Cheers, RickG

Awwwww come on. I do it as much to solidify the details in my brain. I take very few notes, the pictures are what bring it all back to me. But if I hadn't done it by now there is no way I would remember as much.

We are waiting for the rest!

Rick - just post a few photos and riff on them. Doesnt have to be the level of detail you demand of yourself to make us happy.

I know how you feel Rick. I spent a good part of the year preparing for the trip and posting on line. Now, it's back to work and Christmas things and I haven't had the chance to even think about writing a trip report. Haven't even gotten around to fixing undrewater photos.
Trip report; not so soon come but sooner than St John come again (unfortunately)!

RickG-
I have a solution. Take me on your next trip and I'll film and document everything that happens(well almost everything)and then I'll write the trip report, you can think of me as your personal vacation assistant.
It will be tough work but some one has to do it!

Rick, just know we SO look forward to it no matter what, where or when you post! Of course, pics are great! I think you're just keeping us in suspense!

I am officially getting my ass kicked by work. Help him!

Traveler22, I like to have lots of friends along for the ride. Unfortunately, I'm a bad influence and I expect your memory might get a little fuzzy in my presence.

sea-nile, I'm afraid all of the incriminating pictures have been embargoed. I'll let you tell the dangerous stories.

Soon come.

Cheers, RickG

RickG- I'll help out a bit. I spent hours last night resizing photos and tonight hope to get the text written so I can post the final installment. I have lots of pictures from Vie's beach, all pretty tame. That's because no one can hear the conversation :lol:

Work is kicking our behinds too :cry:
When will I see St John again?
