Jan, I am really really really confused by your confusion! LOL I'm with Caroline on this one. I agree that if a website doesn't continually grow it will fade. A Travel Forum makes sense for so many reasons.

Although we all love living in TV (Paradise) it appears that many many residents still love to and do travel all over the world. This would not be an overlapping Forum in any sense of the word. This would be a place where we could learn the better hotels, restaurants, tourist attractions, safer areas, cheaper ways to go, medical attention, insurance, legal information, and the list goes on and on -- about another state or country. Also a good place to share stories about different places, cultures, money conversions. Group ventures can be put together like the TOTV cruise. Safety and health measures can be clarified.

This is a legitimate request for a well-rounded and much needed forum. When traveling, I always ask a lot of questions and have found that I have seen and done things I never would have known or heard about.

Again, with all due respect, I think you guys are doing an exemplary job, and yes you may get a few comments from people that never leave their house or don't like to travel, but hey guys you can't please everyone. There are certain Forums here that I'm just not interested in and I certainly wouldn't presume to write you and complain. I simply don't read them.

In the advertising world we used to strive for the "Big Idea". It is my opinion that a Travel Forum is a "Big Idea". It would help thousands and thousands of people. And I might point out, it wasn't MY idea, so I have no vested interest, other than I know how useful it would be to myself and others. With almost 5000 members (growing everyday) and countless others reading this wonderful site, I absolutely will not believe you can go wrong with a Travel Forum. At least give it a try. And as for the few that criticize you guys -- you've got to grow some tougher skin.

Please take this in the context with which is it written. I'm just giving my reasoning for adding a Travel Forum. Once again, as stated earlier, I think you guys are doing an outstanding job and thank you for all of your hard work. :#1:
