Two giants in the Travel World come together in beautiful harmony for the benefit of the travel community – and everyone else in the Universe!!!
We staffers at VT were jumping for joy as we recently welcomed the head honchos of our new business partner, TripAdvisor. The expertise of each site is so complimentary that how could we not be ecstatic with this marriage? We will remain two separate entities in friendly coopertition; but will be benefiting from everything that can enhance, but not take away, from the special qualities of each site. TripAdvisor loves the VT concept and community and wants it to remain essentially the same, except for the fact that we will now be able to implement projects that have been on hold (for a long, long time) in our pipeline.
Great things are coming – stay tuned, you won’t be disappointed!

Another Angel is Added To Our Community
Cielo_Algaeed shares the excitement of her new addition, “my husband and I, member Leo_70, gladly announce the birth of our little angel, Rania Abdulrahman. She came into this world last June 14, 2008 through normal delivery. She weighs 7.3 pounds and 51cm in length. It was an overwhelming feeling to finally see her after 9 months. Another future vt member :-)"
She’s beautiful Cielo and Leo – Congratulations!
In case you hadn’t noticed…
Our community is abound with fabulously talented people - not only the obvious, writers and photographers, but also fantastic artists. Member Hotsauce28 gave us an update on one of the best, “member Katmosphere hasn't been online in the past while because she's been quite busy painting. And this is a write up of an award she's won!”
We have Kathleen’s beautiful work on display in our VT office. It started as stationary, but was so beautiful we put it on the wall.
Congrats Katmosphere – you are unbelievable!!!
