cruise trip report
Cruise trip reports are invaluable when planning a trip, especially for
cruisers, as many of us know, for choosing a ship, a cruise line, an itinerary, etc. I have created a new website where everyday people can post and read trip reports from all over the world, including cruising trip reports. It's absolutely free to use my site, and to post the reports. I"ve emailed a few people from this list for permission to use their reports on my site, but I haven't gotten any replies. I was hoping some of you would post your reports on my site, if you had the time. Alternatively, you could send them to me and I could post them for you. I have a few cruising trip reports there already, for a few different itineraries, including some interesting ones in Europe. If you have any questions about me or my site, feel free to ask and I will answer. I'm not a travel agent or anything, just so you know. L.Hachey www.MyTripReport.com |

Yes, I agree, this is an excellent question.
As you can see by visiting my site, a lot of time and effort has gone into creating and maintaining my site. I have spent close to six months creating it, and I do generate a very small amount of money from advertising income. Somewhere around $2 US a day, in fact. So I"m not getting rich! =) Basically, I'm a mom at home with kids, just trying to make a living while also trying to stay home. Just like any other person. I've created a service that I hope will benefit others, while at the same time I hope that perhaps I may make a few dollars from advertisers so that I can make this my job. And in the end I may not. But still, the service is there for others. I"m not trying to be dishonest or deceiving in anyway. I like to travel also, and I like to cruise, and I really see this as a service others could find useful. If you don't find it useful, you don't have to take part. Thanks, L.Hachey.

Yes, it is "commercial". Is that bothersome in some way? Is that any
different than the other "commercial" sites that are advertised on here on a regular basis by the travel agents? I believe I was very honest and forthright about it.

cruise trip report
Thanks, Chrissy. Of course I do hope to increase my income, as does any
person who works in the world, or almost anyone who creates serviceable website. But still at the same time I do intend to offer a service to people. While I understand it's in everyone's nature to be suspicious and leary these days, I'm not "the man" or "the big corporation" out there to suck money out of everyone. I"m just the little guy, trying to earn an honest living like everyone else, working hard trying to do that. Chrissy, thank you for your welcome here and your well wishes, they are appreciated. I have a question though, what does RTC stand for? Thanks again, L. Hachey www.MyTripReport.com "Cruising Chrissy" wrote in message ... Cruising Chrissy" wrote in message ...

Yes, I have thought of this. I am in the process of changing to a quicker
server right now, and will probably be adding message boards next week when the move is settled. I think this would be welcome addition. Thanks for the compliments on the site, I'm glad you liked it!

I know where I am, I didn't know what the RTC stood for. Didn't know it
stood for the group. YOu are quite hostile. Is there a reason for this? Could I be taking possible customers away from you? "CupCaked" wrote in message ...

cruise trip report
And I gave you an honest answer. This isn't peoples' "work". These are
peoples' reports. People write these reports TYPICALLY to share with others for the means of HELPING others to plan their trips. I'm wondering..how do you earn YOUR money? Do you work in a restaurant? You feed people and earn money for it? Oh, the humanity! Or do you work in a hospital? You fix peoples' illnesses and charge for it? Oh the humanity! Get the picture? Everybody makes a living somehow, and I'm not living off the dole, welfare, or something else. I'm working hard to earn a living by creating a service that is worthwhile to people. Am I earning a living by creating porn sites or by doing something illegal or immoral? No. So why all the flack about it? Geez. L. Hachey. www.MyReportTrip.com PS. No, I don't pay my contributors, all of my contributors so far have been MORE than happy to share their reports with me, in fact they have loved the idea of my site and of having their reports on the site where they can send their family and friends to read it. I have never once received such a hostile reply such as yours. "CupCaked" wrote in message ... I never said it was "bothersome" or that I was "offended." I just wanted an honest answer about your using other peoples' work on a site you earn money from. Do you pay your contributors? "L.Hachey" wrote: Yes, it is "commercial".
