Reflections on Wikitravel

I have to say this was one of my favorite projects. It always helps when your interested in something and I think that is clear to anyone who reads my page.

I provided a lot of information that most tourists wouldn't receive. The key to any good vacation to a new spot is ask questions. You want to know where the locals go, because if they go, you know the food is good.

Also it's Maine. You can't go wrong with seafood. there is always plenty to do and see on the East Atlantic coast.

After reviewing my comments on this project, I went back and made some revisions. My sleep section sounded to much like an advertisement or phone book listing, which Wikitravel does not want. This is the time to be creative and write about lived experiences.

So I added a comment under each sleep option I offered. Trying to let people know what they can expect if they choose a particular hotel. I think this could be helpful. Its not fun when you wake up at 2am and people are loud outside your window. It's good to give potential tourists expectations near specific locations.
