Here are some guidelines to help you whether you are a first time or old pro author! Suggestions on keeping notes and remembering the details: Use the Passpockets and jot down special things each night. Use your camera or pictures as a guide to take you through the day’s events. Save receipts – most are time-stamped and are helpful for remembering the day. Watch your video if you shot footage that day. Bring a blank journal or notebook along- jot notes poolside or whenever you have some down time. When writing your trip report and posting it here on Passporter: Don’t type your report in all caps- it makes it pretty tough to read. Use paragraphs as much as possible so that your trip report installment is not run on- this also can make it hard for others to read. Post your report and subsequent installments as replies to your original post. If your trip report reaches 200 or more replies, then it is acceptable to begin a new thread - but for new readers, be sure to provide a link for the original thread so they can read in order, if they wish. Photos are welcome and certainly add a lot of “magic” to any trip report. Use the guidelines for photos. Sometimes folks may ask questions in response to an installment-it’s a good idea to read responses to your report so you can answer them. Please feel free to PM any of our Sharing the Adventure Guides if you need any help or if you have tips to add to our list.
