I really enjoy reading about peoples trips. I don't have alot time to search them out though so I always use CGOAB. There might be better ways to post a trip but if you're posting for a broad audience I think more people will read it there. I will sometimes go to someones website linked to their journal.
I've not even heard of the sites mentioned, however I do lag a bit in the techno department.
Whatever way thanks to everyone who does post thier journal somewhere they are very informative and encouraging.
