Can you trust online travel reviews?

A friend and I were talking the other day about the travel reviews on sites like Travelocity and Orbitz.

It seems that these sites "review" the user reviews before they are posted. That is logical, but here is the question: "Do legitimate bad reviews get scrapped because of advertisers?"

Here's the deal: we both work in advertising and know that certain hotel chains pay big bucks to get recommended first (at the top of the results lists) on these travel sites.

Our conversation started because we were talking about how when we submit good reviews on hotels, they are posted almost immediately, but when we submit bad reviews they are rarely posted at all.

If a high-end hotel is paying 10% commission (or whatever) to these travel sites, do you think they are going to let the sites post bad reviews right next the "Book Now" button? Do you ever wonder if these sites conveniently "leave out" reviews that are negative to their advertisers?

Am I being paranoid or is this logical?

Who thinks my friend is an idiot? Or was I just stupid to try?

I don't know what catagory to put this question in. I just picked "Travel", because that is what was supposed to happen (but didn't!).

OK. A guy friend from school told me that if you stand in the aisle at the front end of one of the San Diego trolly cars while it is going, and if you jump up in the air 7 times in a row, you will end up at the other end of the trolley car. He explained that this happens because the trolley is moving forward down the tracks while you are in the air, so when you come down after 7 jumps you will be at the other end of the trolley. I was curious, and wanted to try it for myself, and I did when I finally went with him one day on a trolley car that was not very crowded.

I did jump 7 times, but I was still in the same spot exactly. The only thing that happened is I looked pretty stupid to the few passengers. My friend just laughed, and said that It didn't work out because I "didn't do it right"!! Huh!?

Who was more stupid.....me or my friend?

Alone at a resort....is it still fun?

I have travelled alone before and it was wonderful but I was not at a resort. I am afraid I am going to be surrounded by honeymooners and couples. I am looking forward to it as it seems like it will be a wonderful relaxing week but I wonder do other people visit these types of places alone. Has anyone travelled to a resort alone and how is it?

For our honeymoon we both want to spend 3-5 days on a sailing boat of some sort. Ideally we woud have a crew and the boat would be quite large.

I don't want a cruise boat full of people but just a sailing ship with about 50 person occupancy... has anyone been on one of these and where. Location doesn't bother us as long as it's hot!
