Well I have been on this site about 2 months and I am on about 15 other sites as well. I came from
www.wsgforum.com where I began in Sept 2001. It was from there that I was directed to here. Many there are members here as well, thanks mongers.
I am going on my first trip in September and I purchased the VIP membership for $36. To start with, I think it will say me at least $40 so thats Well Worth it!. It might even save me double that if I hang with others. From this site, I know what I will be doing from the moment I get there until I leave 6 days later.
The members here are very helpful and friendly. I am glad I joined it.
