While many are already aware of the great service that Trip Advisor provides, not everyone has heard the news. I have personally relied upon their rating system for hotels in three different countries as of yet, and never been anything less than thrilled with the turn out. It is set up well, and provides extremely accurate, and useful info.

So, when my mom mentioned she wanted to take a family holiday to Destin Florida, and she thought she would rely upon places we had previously stayed a good ten to fifteen years ago, I butted in. I let her know that the most recent journey I took to Thailand, a place that was completely new to both me and my spouse, we turned to Trip Advisor. She had seen all kinds of pictures from that trip and agreed it was a good thought. Of course, by adding my two cents to the planning process, I ultimately was just asking to be given the whole roll. Luckily, I know how to simplify it.
